Moving to Genoa, around 1891 Plinio Nomellini, protagonist of the lively cultural scene, founded the Albaro Group, which brings together a large number of local artists and intellectuals, including Giorgio Kienerk and Angelo Torchi. Olivi ad Albaro was most likely born in such a circumstance, and in fact corresponds to an analogous landscape by Kienerk of 1892. The painting, which develops vertically, frames two figures, a child sitting on his back in the grass and a boy in profile facing a a stone wall, inserted in a luxuriant spring landscape that climbs up to a nucleus of buildings discolored in the sun among which the Church of San Nazaro and the aforementioned tower of the same name, both demolished in 1912-1913, can be recognized. Fulcrum of the composition, the silhouetted silhouette of the young man in a midnight blue shirt and cap, unifies the foreground, in which the quick and fresh touch extends into the intertwining of a wide web of green and blue filaments and short red patches of shadow and blue, with the delicate background lit by a warm morning heat dotted with yellows, cinnabar and violets, to suggest clear calm atmospheres of impressionist memory.
