Piscine di Albaro, Swimming pool and national heritage site in Albaro, Genoa, Italy.

Piscine di Albaro is a swimming complex in Genoa with a 50x25 m Olympic pool, a covered 33x21 m pool with diving platforms up to 10 m, an outdoor 33x21 m pool, a 25x15 m children's pool and a 7x4 m newborn pool. The rationalist building has large glass facades, two semicircular side wings and an antenna tower.

Built to a design by engineer Paride Contri, the complex opened in October 1935 as one of Europe's most modern swimming facilities, intended to train new swimmers. It was praised by critics and promoted by the fascist regime. Declared unusable in 1992, it was fully restored from 2006 and reopened on 20 March 2008, with a disputed raising of the two semicircular side wings.

The facility serves as a gathering place where residents of different ages come to swim and take lessons regularly. It functions as a training ground for the local water polo team, connecting everyday community life with competitive athletics.

The facility is straightforward to navigate, with clear signage helping visitors locate the right changing areas and pools quickly. It is best to arrive early, especially during training schedules or competitions, to avoid extended waiting times.

Inside the indoor pool is a ceramic mosaic by Fillia, a Futurist artist whose real name was Luigi Colombo. The grandstands beside the 50-metre pool once held 1,600 seated and 3,000 standing spectators. Since 18 February 2022 the indoor facility has been named after Marco Paganuzzi, a former Quinto coach who died in 2018 aged 45.
