The film begins at the port, between Piazza Raibetta and the commercial district near Palazzo San Giorgio, portraying the city’s active maritime and economic life. It then shifts to the monumental Staglieno Cemetery, offering a contemplative view of Genoa’s funerary architecture and cultural relationship with death.

Though varied in subject, these locations collectively reflect Genoa’s commercial vitality, commemorative traditions, and aristocratic heritage. The film runs for 1 minute and 37 seconds, includes stencil-coloured sequences, and was distributed in Portuguese under the title Um dia em Genova.
