A person from Genoa, Italy, or relating to Genoa and its people, history, and culture.
From Genoa (Italian 'Genova') with the suffix '-ese' (meaning 'of or from a place'). The city's name may derive from the Ligurian word for harbor or from Indo-European roots meaning knee or corner.
Christopher Columbus was Genoese—and while there's debate about his exact origins, calling him 'Genoese' connects him to the great maritime republic that dominated Mediterranean trade for centuries!
