You're standing on Via Garibaldi, in the historic heart of Genoa, in front of Palazzo Rosso. Rosso means red, and one look at the façade tells you why. This was the town palace of one of the city's wealthiest families, the Brignole Sale. Two brothers, Rodolfo and Gio Francesco, had it built in the 1670s, to designs by the architect Pietro Antonio Corradi.
