Cogoleto (Ligurian: Cogoeuo) is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Genoa in the Italian region Liguria, located about 25 kilometres (16 mi) west of Genova. Its territory extends from the sea to the Ligurian Apennines; it is part of the Natural Regional Park of Monte Beigua.
Multiple 16th-century sources describe Cogoleto as the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, although his precise origins remain a matter of dipute.[3][4][5]
