Villa Doria Spinola Quartara, Noble villa in Quarto dei Mille, Genoa, Italy.

Villa Doria Spinola Quartara is a noble residence on Via Romana della Castagna in Quarto dei Mille, Genoa, with a park stretching from Via Antica Romana to the sea. Rebuilt in the mid-15th century by the Castagna family, it was enlarged in 1902 by Lorenzo Quartara with a large wing frescoed by Luigi Morgari and a geometrically redesigned park.

A first villa was built at the end of the 14th century and rebuilt around the mid-15th century by the Castagna family. The Doria and Spinola families owned it over the centuries, with the most important changes made by the Spinola in the 18th century. In 1815 it hosted Pope Pius VII, fleeing Rome during Napoleon's Hundred Days after Joachim Murat attacked the Papal State. In 1889 Lorenzo Quartara, mayor of Quarto, bought it and in 1902 added a large wing with frescoes by Luigi Morgari.

The name Quartara comes from Lorenzo Quartara, mayor of the then municipality of Quarto, who bought the villa in 1889 and had it enlarged in 1902 with a large wing decorated with frescoes by Luigi Morgari. The park was also redesigned at that time with a geometric layout.

The property now serves as an international center for studies and training connected to a research institution. Visitors should inquire in advance about access possibilities since the grounds are primarily used for institutional purposes.

In 1815 Pope Pius VII stayed at the villa while fleeing Rome during the Hundred Days, after Joachim Murat attacked the Papal State. The episode ties the building to the wider Napoleonic wars rather than to any health crisis.
