Sturla (Italian: [ˈsturla], Ligurian: [ˈstyɾla]) is a quartiere of Genoa, Italy. It began life as an ancient fishing village which developed around a number of small coves – Sturla a Mare, at the mouth of the Sturla river, Vernazzola and Boccadasse (which is now included in the neighbouring quartiere of Albaro). Sturla is located in the Golfo di Sturla (Sturla Bay).
Sturla is part of the Medio Levante municipality, and has a population of 8278 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2010).[1] In the 1800s the current quartiere was a commune of San Martino d'Albaro, while the village of Vernazzola was a commune of San Francesco d'Albaro. However, both communes were annexed by Genoa in 1874.
