\nPalazzo Fieschi Negrone has always played a role of extreme centrality in the urban fabric and in everyday life in Genoa. Located, in fact, in an area that since the first Millennium has been identified as the centre of a city\u2014and of a city wall\u2014in continuous evolution, the importance of the site on which it stands is clearly testified by its \u201cfacing\u201d adjacency to the Cathedral of San Lorenzo as well as by its nearby proximity to the Doge\u2019s Palace. Built around 1612 for Francesco Fieschi and later acquired by Sinibaldo Fieschi, the building already appears from 1614 in the Rolli lists, registers in which prestigious noble residences\u2014private, it should be noted\u2014were recorded and used to host distinguished public figures on \u201cState visits\u201d to Genoa.<\/p>\n

The design of the palace, coordinated by the Genoese Bartolomeo Massone, can with considerable probability be attributed to the celebrated Vincenzo Scamozzi\u2014architect of the Olympic Theatre in Vicenza\u2014who, not by chance, included the building\u2019s plan in his treatise L\u2019idea dell\u2019architettura universale<\/em> (1615).<\/p>\n

The majestic fa\u00e7ade, well established in the imagery of every Genoese, is animated by a triumphal entrance portal, imposing mascarons and white marble quadratures, as well as by a refined cladding in bichrome bands\u2014white and black marble\u2014a typical medieval decorative motif that, not by chance, recalls the facies<\/em> of the nearby Cathedral.<\/p>\n

During the nineteenth century, following the major Urban Master Plan that laid the foundations of the present-day city road system, the so-called \u201ccarretteria\u201d or \u201cStrada carretabile Carlo Alberto\u201d\u2014today Via San Lorenzo\u2014was built with the aim of connecting the city\u2019s principal economic centres, such as Piazza Caricamento and Piazza De Ferrari. This modification (1837\u20131840) resulted in the setback of the fa\u00e7ade by a few metres from its original position.<\/p>\n

A constant presence, therefore, in the urban identity of the city, Palazzo Fieschi Negrone currently belongs to the heirs of Tommaso De Ferrari, to whom the building was sold in 1879.
