Genova City of Art

It shows the journey across the story and the artistic heritage. It is deeply connected to the important past of the city. Genoa “la Superba”, the city of “Dogi” and of the seventeenth-century magnificence. To indicate only the main initiative about “Genoa, city of art”, we can talk about the wide programme of structural intervention who looks at the rearrangement of museum system, civic and public, and the transformation of ancient buildings into a forefront University. The museum system’s rearrangement involves the restoration of some important buildings but also a deep innovation of the museums’ management; the new “Polo museale antico” will winds along via Garibaldi, a real rareness for its shape of “strada museo”: the buttonhole flower of the cultural planning will be the exposition “The age of Rubens”, residences, purchasers and genoese collectors: the theme of collecting and of the artistic patronage builds up one of the main character of the new age genoese’ culture. Palazzo Ducale’s staging will offer the opportunity to see the most beautiful picture gallery represented by Rubens in his book “Palaces of Genoa”.
