The system of the Palazzi dei Rolli<\/strong> is a group of sumptuous Genoese residences built by the aristocracy between the middle of the 16th and the 17th century, as wealthy merchants, bankers and shipowners, at a time when the Republic of Genoa was at the height of its maritime and economic power, and an important Mediterranean city.
These palaces had the particularity of being intended – at the initiative of the public authority by a decree of 1576 – to host illustrious figures passing through Genoa. At that time, the city was indeed frequented by many foreigners.
This site thus represents the first example in Europe of an urban development project laid out by a public authority, and associated with a system of public accommodation in private residences (decree of 1576).<\/p>\n\n\n
