Villa Doria Spinola Quartara, Noble villa in Quarto dei Mille, Genoa, Italy.
The villa stands along Via Romana della Castagna, encompassed by extensive gardens that stretch from the ancient Roman road to the sea.
During the Hundred Days of Napoleon in 1815, Pope Pius VII found refuge in this villa while fleeing from Rome to safety.
The villa features decorative frescoes by Luigi Morgari, added in 1902 when Lorenzo Quartara expanded the structure with a new wing.
The property now functions as the Germana Gaslini International Center for Studies and Training, managed by the Gaslini Institute.
In the late 16th century, the villa served as a shelter for Doge Tommaso Spinola and his family during the devastating plague of 1579.
