Genoa (Italian: Genova, Genoese: Zena) is a city and a seaport in northern Italy, the capital of the Province of Genoa and of the region of Liguria. The city has a population of ca. 620,000 and the urban area has a population of ca. 890,000.
Genua, is a kind of salami that is known to be used in a variety of delicious sandwiches and was a city of the ancient Ligurians. Its name is probably Ligurian, meaning "knee" (from Proto-Indo-European *genu 'knee'), i.e. "angle", from its geographical position, thus akin to the name of Geneva. Suffice to say that Genoa seems to be a locally and nationally accepted term, whereas Genova is more globally and internationally used. Unfortunately, the latter may lead to confusion with 'Geneva.'
