Touring Genoa and its symbols: Via Garibaldi and the Palazzo dei Rolli, the luxurious noble houses of the time.

I continue with this sort of guided tour through the streets of Genoa, the city where I spent 20 years of my life, that is to say the end of my childhood and all my adolescence.

 

A city from which I am currently separated by more than 10,000 kms but which I will always keep in my heart.

 

In previous posts I told you about the Lanterna, the lighthouse, symbol of the city, about Boccadasse, the district on the sea with its multicoloured houses, about the Galata naval museum, the largest in the world, in a city whose origins were always seafaring, about the monumental Cathedral of San Lorenzo, located in the very heart of the city, nestled in the very heart of the historic centre, the largest and most densely populated in Europe, and the Doge's Palace, emblem of Genoese power at a time when a large part of Liguria was independent of the central power, forming an autonomously administered Republic.

Today I am going to share my impressions of Via Garibaldi and one of its emblematic buildings: the Rolli palace.
