Palazzo Belimbau, Renaissance palace in Genoa, Italy
The palace at Piazza della Nunziata 2 displays Mannerist architecture with Baroque decorations and frescoes throughout its interior spaces.
Antoniotto Cattaneo constructed the palace in 1594, followed by Francesco De Ferrari's renovations between 1604 and 1611 under architect Ceresola's guidance.
The frescoes within the palace illustrate narratives from Cleopatra's life and Christopher Columbus's journeys, based on accounts from his son Fernando.
The University of Genoa maintains offices in the palace, offering periodic public access during Rolli Days and scheduled cultural events.
The 1943 Allied bombings caused substantial damage to the palace's art collection, leading to necessary restorations of the roof and façade in 2004.
