Discover some of the Palazzi dei Rolli, the sumptuous residences built by Genoa's richest and most powerful families during the Golden Age (between the 16th and 17th centuries) that became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006.
You'll find a network of private residences that assumed a peculiar function of representation through their inscription in the "Rolli," the registers for public hospitality. Listen to the history of the residences, and their guests such as kings, princes, diplomats and ambassadors, state guests of the Genoese Republic. Visit lavishly and elegantly decorated residences that did not escape the eye of such a fine artist as the great Flemish painter Rubens, who in the early 1600s published the collection of drawings of the palaces as living models for the nobility.
At the end of the tour you can reach a well-known creamery in the historic center, where you can eat panera, the coffee parfait typical of the capital or coffee/chocolate with panera and 3 biscuits (winter).
