Palazzo dell'Accademia ligustica di belle arti

Palazzo dell'Accademia ligustica di belle arti, Art palace in Portoria, Genoa, Italy.

Palazzo dell'Accademia ligustica di belle arti is an art academy housed in a palace building in Genoa that holds both historical and contemporary works. The building contains studios and classrooms where artistic training and creative work take place.

The palace was built in the 19th century on the site of the demolished convent of San Domenico, to a design by Carlo Barabino; the design process ran from 1826 to 1831. From 1831 to 1997 it housed the Berio civic library and the Ligustica Academy. It was damaged in the World War II bombings of Genoa and restored after the war by architect Mario Labò.

The palace holds a collection of artworks spanning several centuries that visitors can explore throughout its rooms. The works show how artistic styles changed over time and reflect different approaches to painting and sculpture.

The building is located in the Portoria neighborhood and can be explored by visitors interested in art collections. It is useful to allow enough time to browse through the various rooms and exhibitions on display.

The monumental columns of the second-floor loggia come from the demolished church of San Domenico, on whose site the palace was built. In the octagonal atrium, four marble statues honour the painters Luca Cambiaso and Bernardo Strozzi and the sculptors Filippo Parodi and Bernardo Schiaffino, carved by Luigi Orengo in 1935 and Guido Galletti in 1939.
