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. |
