Palazzo Imperiale


"A street fit for a palace"

This building, erected by Vincenzo Imperiale before 1560, is one of the greatest examples of self-promotion ever to be achieved in the old city by a Genovese noble at the height of his wealth and influence. To comprehend the importance of this building, with structural and stucco work by G. B. Castello, known as Il Bergamasco, and frescoes by L. Cambiaso, O. Semino and A. Ansaldo, you need only recall that by Royal command all the houses opposite the newly acquired palazzo were bought and destroyed to create a direct link to St. Lawrence's cathedral (today the Via Scurreria la Nuova). On the ground floor, in the entrance, there is an auction house, while on the upper floor there is the Pub Imperiale, decorated with beautiful frescoes and stucco work.
