the second major station of Genoa. Many trains from the south end here, but some also continue to Piazza Principe. A modern train station behind an old facade.

The first Genova Brignole station opened in 1868 as the terminus of the railway line from Chiavari, coming from the south. In 1872, the line was extended through the Traversata Tunnel to Genova Piazza Principe station, which thus became a through station instead of a terminus.

The current station building was constructed between 1902 and 1905 in anticipation of a planned World's Fair. This fair, however, was ultimately held in Liège, Belgium. The station's architecture combines romantic Neo-Renaissance motifs with Neoclassical elements and is certainly very impressive. And indeed, a World's Fair did take place in Genoa in 1992, which hopefully attracted many visitors by train.
