Palazzo Lercari-Parodi, Renaissance palace in Via Garibaldi, Genoa, Italy

The palace features a lower facade with diamond point ashlar and grand portals supported by two telamons with deliberately severed noses.

Franco Lercari, a wealthy banker and governor of the Genoese Republic, initiated the construction of this palace in 1571 and completed it in 1578.

The first floor contains frescoes by Lazzaro Calvi depicting landscapes, military scenes from Roman history, and biblical episodes in various parlors.

The palace, located at number 3 Via Garibaldi, maintains its position as a private residence under the ownership of the Parodi family since 1845.

The telamons at the entrance reference the legend of Megollo Lercari, who cut off his enemies' noses in retaliation for their offenses.
