ADDRESS: Via Garibaldi 9
| When, in the XVI century, the Renaissance Genova expanded
out of the boundaries of the narrow medieval city, the local noble families
competed in rising new palaces. The result was what is today called Via
Garibaldi, a wonderful street which Peter Paul Rubens liked so much
to prepare an album with the drawings of all the palaces, having in mind
to reproduce them in the Flandres.
The Palazzo Tursi, now the town-hall, is one of the best. Particularly interesting is the architectural solution of the problems arising from the overhanging hill. |
