The Genoa Metro (Italian: Metropolitana di Genova) is a light rapid transit system consisting of a single line that connects the centre of Genoa, Italy with the suburb of Rivarolo Ligure, to the north-west of the city centre.

The service is currently managed by Azienda Mobilità e Trasporti (AMT), which provides public transport for the city of Genoa.

The origins of a subway in Genoa date back to the beginning of the twentieth century; in 1907 Carlo Pfalz, who had already designed the Zecca-Righi funicular, was the first to explore the construction of an underground railway with electric traction.

Several projects, including that of the engineer Angelo Massardo and those of Renzo Picasso (1911 and 1930), were proposed without being realized.

[3][4] The only attempt to introduce an alternative means of transport was made on the occasion of the International Exhibition of Marine and Maritime Hygiene of 1914: it was Telfer, an elevated monorail that connected the Port (Giano Pier area) to the exhibition area in Piazza di Francia, in front of the Brignole station.

The first section, opened on 13 June 1990 in time for the 1990 FIFA World Cup, was 2.5-kilometre (1.6 mi)[1] between the stations of Brin and Dinegro.

[12] In March 2018, the Italian government announced the investment for an extension of one station at either end of the line, Canepari to the northwest and Martinez to the east.
