That jeans originated in Genova?
Neither did I until recently.
The story is that jeans were made popular by the port workers in Genova because they needed a material that was tough enough to stand up to the work that they did every day.
This came up during one of our classes when we were discussing the materials used for clothes for young people and how durable it has to be. You certainly aren't going to make silk pants for a teenage boy.
Now you know.
