Nervi is a former fishing village 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Portofino on the Riviera di Levante, now a seaside resort in Liguria, in northwest Italy. Once an independent comune, it is now a quartiere of Genoa. Nervi is 4 miles (7 km) east of central Genoa.
Multiple 16th-century sources describe Nervi as the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, though his exact origins remain a matter of debate.
