Venue
Sala del Camino e Loggiato Minore, Palazzo Ducale
The Doge's Palace (in Italian: Palazzo Ducale) were built between 1251 and 1275, during the flourishing period of the Republic of Genoa.
Once the home of the Doges of Genoa, it is now a museum and a centre for cultural events and arts exhibitions. It is situated in the heart of the historical city centre, with two different entrances and façades, the main one on Piazza Matteotti, and the second one on Piazza De Ferrari.
The Palace of the Doges was restored in 1992, in occasion of the celebrations of Christopher Columbus and the 500th anniversary of the discovery of Americas: from that moment it is home to the Foundation for Culture and the driving force of culture in Genoa.
