Quarto dei Mille

Quarto dei Mille is a residential district in the east of Genoa, Italy, overlooking the sea. Located between the Sturla and Quinto al Mare districts, it was originally called Quarto al Mare (Ligurian: Quarto a-o Mâ). It was re-named after the 1860 Expedition of the Thousand (Garibaldi's volunteer force), who embarked for Sicily there.[1]

In 1926, it was integrated into the municipality of Genoa.
