Pra' (elision of the original Latin name ''Prata Veituriorum'') is a district of the west of
Genoa, located between
Pegli and
Voltri with which it forms the western (''Ponente'') district of Genoa, ''Municipio VII''.
The inhabitants of Pra' are called ''pràesi'': however, those who have originated in the locality for generations prefer to be called ''praíno'' (in Genoese dialect: ''praín'').
Pra' was an autonomous municipality from 1797 to 1926, and was divided into five hamlets called ''casali'': Torre, Pra' (later Borgo Foce), Sapello, Palmaro and Palmaro Carbone. With the creation of Greater Genoa by the incorporation of nineteen municipalities during the
fascist regime, from 1926 Pra' was added to the municipality of Genoa.
