The Palazzo Ducale in Genoa will undergo restoration and redevelopment of its exhibition spaces based on a design by Renzo Piano. According to ANSA, the institutional agreement was signed by the Ministry of Culture, the Liguria Region, and the City of Genoa, and was announced by Minister of Culture Alessandro Giuli at the conclusion of a meeting at the Collegio Romano with Liguria Region President Marco Bucci and Genoa Mayor Silvia Salis.
The focus of the discussion was the project conceived by Piano for one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, which the architect envisioned as an initiative dedicated to the heritage of his native Genoa. The Ministry will make available certain resources from the Superintendency to be allocated to the work, which will supplement the funding already secured by the City of Genoa, the Liguria Region, Palazzo Ducale, and the Compagnia di San Paolo. This collaboration among the institutions will make it possible to cover the preliminary budget for the project, estimated at over five million euros.
The work will focus in particular on the Doge’s apartment and the main loggia. The project aims to move beyond the current configuration of the exhibition spaces—which were originally conceived as a temporary solution—with the goal of restoring a greater sense of openness and clarity to the palace’s architecture. The reopening of the loggia will also restore the natural flow between the historic part of the building and the Doge’s apartments, bringing natural light back into the rooms.
The project will include the restoration and rehabilitation of the decorations, as well as the creation of a flexible and technologically advanced exhibition system. The solution must integrate the characteristics of the historic architecture with the requirements of major international exhibitions. The stated goal is to strengthen the role of the Palazzo Ducale as a center of cultural production and to help make Genoa a more attractive destination on the international stage.
