About

The Palazzo Francesco Maria Balbi Piovera is a monumental building located in via Balbi at number 6 in the historical centre of Genoa. The palace was included on 13 July 2006 in the list of the 42 palaces inscribed in the Rolli di Genova that became World Heritage by UNESCO on that date. The building, also known by the name of palazzo Raggio from the name of the armor who purchased it in the 19th century, is today the seat of the Faculty of Letters of the University of Genoa.
