PALAZZO SPINOLA DI PELLICCERIA
Palace of Francesco Grimaldi

The Palace

The Palazzi dei Rolli are not only overlooking the majestic Strada Nuova, but are spread out around  the ancient city: Palazzo Spinola di Pellicceria proves it.

Founded at the end of the sixteenth century by Francesco Grimaldi, the palace was home to four very important families of the city: the Grimaldi, the Pallavicino, the Doria and the Spinola; the last heirs, Paolo and Franco Spinola, donated the palace, all its furnishings and all its collections to the State in 1958.

Why you should visit Palazzo Spinola

Antonello da Messina, Rubens, Van Dyck, Strozzi, Guido Reni, Grechetto, Filippo Parodi are among the artists present in the collection still located in the rooms, one of the most important historical picture galleries in the city. The path through the frescoed rooms culminates in the small but precious Hall of Mirrors
The top two floors of the building house the National Gallery of Liguria with paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and furnishings that have been added more recently thanks to donations or purchases from the Italian State.
