Villa Piaggio, Renaissance villa in Castelletto, Italy
The building extends as an elongated structure with two loggia wings perpendicular to the front, facing towards the Mediterranean Sea.
The villa dates back to the 15th century when the Moneglia family from Chiavari commissioned its construction on the Carbonara hills.
The property changed ownership through several Genoese families before architect Ippolito Cremona renovated it in 1830 for the Pinelli Gentile family.
Villa Piaggio currently houses the local police department and social services offices, with public access through the entrance at Corso Firenze 24.
A cadastral assessment from 1798 classified this residence as one of the most substantial villas within the walls of Genoa.
