Genoa is a seaport with a fine natural harbor rivaling Marseille, France, as the leading European port of the Mediterranean Sea and is the commercial center of the industrialized sections of Piedmont and Lombardy, the rich agricultural regions of northern Italy. The harbor facilities, which were badly damaged during World War II, are today modernized. Shipbuilding is the leading industry of Genoa. Other important industries are the manufacture of iron and steel products, motors and vehicle parts, refrigeration equipment, munitions, chemicals, soap, and the processing of agricultural produce. Processing plants include sugar and oil refineries, canneries, tanneries, breweries, and distilleries. Service industries such as tourism and commerce are also plentiful.
