Via Cairoli, Renaissance street in historic Genoa, Italy
Via Cairoli extends through central Genoa with a collection of palaces featuring detailed stone facades and ornate architectural elements from the 18th century.
The street developed between 1778 and 1786 as part of the Strade Nuove, when Genoa held significant maritime power in the Mediterranean region.
The palaces along Via Cairoli belonged to noble families who hosted diplomatic visitors in their residences according to the Rolli system.
Visitors can explore the street's architecture daily, with special access to palace interiors during the scheduled Rolli Days events throughout the year.
The street forms part of a system where palaces were officially listed to accommodate state guests, a practice not found in other European cities.
