摘要

The metropolitan area and the city of Genoa has become a national andinternational case study for geohydrological risk, mainly due to thefrequency of floods. In 2014, there were landslides again, as well as flash floods thathave particularly caused casualties and economic damage. The weather features of the Gulf of Genoa and thegeomorphological–environmental setting of the Ligurian coastal land are thepredisposing factors that determine heavy rains and their resulting effectson the ground.This study analysed the characteristics of the main meteorological disastersthat have hit Genoa since the start of the 20th century; changes in the rainfall regimeare evaluated and the main stages of urbanization of the area are detailed,with the resulting changes to the drainage network, in order to identify themain causes of this high geohydrological risk. To this end, scientists have usedclimate data recorded at the station of Genoa University, in operation since1833, and at Ponte Carrega station, located in the middle reach of the Bisagnostream, a well-known watercourse because of its frequent floods. Urbansprawl was evaluated through a multi-temporal mapping comparison, usingmaps available from the beginning of the 19th century up to thecurrent regional technical maps.The average air temperature in Genoa shows a statistically significantincrease, while the number of rainy days displays an equally cleardecrease over time. The total annual rain value does not seem to indicaterather noticeable changes. The intensity of rain in Genoa expressed asrainfall rate, i.e.~the ratio of annual rainfall and number of rainy days,shows statistically significant growth.The geohydrological vulnerability in Genoa has increased over time due tourban development which has established modifications in land use,from agricultural to urban, especially in the valley floor. Waterwayshave been confined and reduced to artificial channels, often covered in theirfinal stretch; in some cases they have even been totally removed. Theseactions should be at least partially reversed in order to reduce thepresently high hydrological risk.
