Villa Grimaldi, Renaissance villa in Nervi district, Genoa, Italy
Villa Grimaldi stands in a 12,000-square-meter park with expansive gardens, featuring both historical architecture and modern museum facilities.
Architect Galeazzo Alessi constructed the villa in 1554 for Ottaviano Grimaldi Cebà, incorporating classical elements such as stucco friezes with triglyphs and metopes.
The building houses the Frugone Collections, displaying paintings and sculptures by Italian and international artists from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The museum maintains regular opening hours, offers guided tours, and provides access to both art exhibitions and the surrounding rose garden with 800 varieties.
Original Rubensian engravings document the villa's initial appearance, while some of its historical frescoes now reside in the Museo di Sant'Agostino.
