Palazzo Interiano Pallavicini

Palazzo Interiano Pallavicini is a Renaissance palace in Genoa with a facade of alternating stone and marble, decorated with cherub sculptures and the Pallavicini family coat of arms. The architectural design exemplifies the style typical of Genoese palaces from this period.

Francesco Casella constructed this palace between 1565 and 1567 for Paolo Battista and Niccolò Interiano. It quickly gained recognition as one of Genoa's most notable palaces.

The entrance hall displays frescoes by Giovanni Battista Carlone alongside a neoclassical statue of Antinous by Nicolò Traverso. These works reflect the family's appreciation for classical art and refined taste.

The palace stands next to the Edoardo Chiossone Museum of Oriental Art, allowing visitors to explore both locations conveniently on the same visit. The site is located in Genoa's historic center and is easily accessible on foot.

The rooftop garden from the 19th century was designed by Pietro Pellegrini and ascends the hillside with terraces and loggias. Water flows through basins in a system that takes advantage of the natural slope.
