    Via Giuseppe Garibaldi

    Walking along Via Garibaldi you savour the ancient beauty of this wonderful city through the stately and elegant dwellings of its wealthy merchants. From the mid-1500s onwards Genoa was enriched with magnificent facades in stucco, marble or painted decorations, grandiose atriums, splendid gardens with fountains and nymphaeums; and inside, large frescoed halls, sumptuous furnishings, precious art collections and rich picture galleries. These luxurious residences did not escape the eye of refined artists such as the great Flemish painter Pieter Paul Rubens who, at the beginning of the seventeenth century, published his book of drawings of the buildings, which he proposed as a model for the residences of the aristocracy of the whole Europe.

    La Casa di Colombo

    A short distance from Porta Soprana, just outside the ancient medieval walls, is the so-called Casa di Colombo. It is probably a reconstruction, dating back to the 18th century, of the original medieval building in which the discoverer of the Americas lived in his youth. The house was probably destroyed during the bombardment of the French fleet of King Louis XIV which hit Genoa in 1684. The building is spread over two floors: the ground floor was used as a workshop by his father, Domenico Colombo, who dealt with wool weaving and of commerce. Upstairs was the family home. According to written sources, the navigator lived here in a period of time included - approximately - between 1455 and 1470.

    Piazza Banchi

    Located just off one of the most important docks in the city, this was once the site of Genoa’s old grain market, and was known as piazza "dei banchi" in the 12th century due to the money-changers' stalls located under the porticoes of the various buildings.The square was destroyed by a terrible fire in 1398 and, it was not until the 16th century that restoration work was completed on the buildings; this work also included the construction of a Loggia dei Mercanti (merchant's loggia) designed by Andrea Ceresola, known as il Vannone, to provide a covered location for bankers and money-changers working in the area.
