Palazzo Lomellini Baldassarre, Renaissance palace in Via Garibaldi, Genoa, Italy.
Palazzo Lomellini Baldassarre is a Renaissance palace on Via Garibaldi featuring a grand marble entrance portal designed by Taddeo Carlone. The interior spans multiple stories connected by a courtyard positioned above the entrance level.
Banker Baldassarre Lomellini commissioned the building, completed in 1562 and designed by architect Giovanni Ponzello during Genoa's period of economic prosperity. The palace reflects the power of the city's wealthiest merchant families.
The first floor holds the Sala degli Zecchini decorated with frescoes showing ancient Roman scenes. These rooms show how wealthy merchants of the time filled their homes with art and classical imagery.
The building is located at Via Garibaldi 12 and remains partly open to visitors who can explore the decorated halls and artistic elements of the first floor. Allow time to examine the details and decorative features throughout the rooms.
The building survived World War II bombing that destroyed its main hall, yet a ceiling fresco of Dido and Aeneas by Giovan Battista Castello remained intact. This artwork endured despite the destruction surrounding it.
