In the extraordinary setting of Via Garibaldi, the magnificent Renaissance and Baroque Strada declared UNESCO World Heritage Site, it starts an original museum trail linking three important Genoese palaces: Palazzo Rosso, Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Doria Tursi.

Palazzo Rosso, a noble residence decorated with frescoes by the major painters of the 17th century Ligurian and with precious furnishings, it is rich in paintings that includes paintings collected over two centuries by the noble Brignole-Sale family. Among the artists exhibited in the galleries of the Genoese aristocratic palace: Dürer, Veronese, Guercino, Strozzi, Grechetto, Van Dyck and many more.

In Palazzo Bianco we can admire an important collection of Genoese, Italian and European paintings from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century: alongside authentic masterpieces by Italian artists (Caravaggio, Veronese), Flemish (Hans Memling, Gerard David, Jean Provost, Rubens, Van Dyck ), Dutch (Steen), French (Vouet, Lancret) and Spanish (Zurbaràn, Murillo), it’s a great overview of Genoese painting from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century (Cambiaso, Strozzi, Piola, Magnasco).

Built in the Genoese Century, Palazzo Doria Tursi, in addition to hosting the Mayor's halls, welcomes the expansion of the Palazzo Bianco Gallery. In monumental rooms, famous pieces such as the Guarneri del Gesù, a violin belonging to Paganini, a remarkable display of decorative artwork, and collection of coins, weights and official measures of the ancient Republic of Genoa.
