Palazzo Giacomo Spinola

Palazzo Spinola "dei marmi"

Placed in front of the short side of today’s Piazza Fontane Marose, named Piazza di Luccoli in the past, the palace was built around the mid-fifteenth century by the will of the Spinola family, who held it until the beginning of the nineteenth century.

The facade has the characteristic alternation with white and black bichrome bands, made using white Carrara marble and the typical stone of Promontorio.

In memory of the ancestors of the family in special niches, are placed five statues, the last of which is not well identified and depicting, from left to right, Oberto, Corrado, Opizzino, Calvot. After a long series of changes made as a result of the opening of Via Carlo Felice, today’s Via XXV Aprile, and the reorganization of the terrain, the building was purchased by a credit institution in the late 1980s and early 1990s. A general restoration was soon started by the architects Tommaso Badano and Lionello Calza.
