The palace’s elegant Mannerist architecture and richly decorated interior—featuring frescoes by Lorenzo De Ferrari, a Hall of Mirrors, and a collection of Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces—provide a dramatic backdrop for works that include early drawings by Leonardo da Vinci, Baroque canvases by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, and a wealth of portraits and altarpieces depicting Genoa’s mercantile heritage.
