 | Genoa Palazzo Ducale & Piazza De Ferrari Reviews | 1 - 10 of 37 |  |
No need to describe Piazza de Ferrari... it's the most famous square in Genova by far. And there's no need to tell you how to get there, since you will surely go there if you come to Genova! ;-)
It's the heart of the town, between the old and the modern city, and it's the cultural centre too with the Opera theater Carlo Felice and the Palazzo Ducale. It was once the financial centre too, with the Borsa (Stock Exchange) which now is not active anymore.
So, go there, relax, take pictures on the fountain and enjoy your stay in Genova! ;-) Leave a Comment Directions: At the crossing of Via XX Settembre, Via Dante and Via XXV Aprile/Via Roma. BUS 41-20 -17

Palazzo Ducale (Ducal Palace) is probably the most known building in Genova, and where most important exibitions are held, expecially during the year of Culture 2004. It was built in the 13th century and modified much times during the centuries, expecially in the recent 19/20th century, when the actual facade was built. Inside the building there are not only exibitions (in the wonderful rooms of the palace), but also a bar, libraries and shops. Leave a Comment

Your one-stop destination for Genovese art, culture and religion. Listen to the rushing water of the fountain in the center of this piazza. See Ligurian paintings at the Accademia Ligustica Belle Arti, check out a temporary exhibit (or have Sunday brunch) at the Palazzo Ducale, attend mass at the Chiesa del Gesu or take in an opera at Teatro Carlo Felice. Stand in the center of the piazza, close your eyes, spin around and go where destiny takes you (and if it takes you shopping under the covered arches of Via XX Septembre, so be it…)! Leave a Comment

The inner Portico in Palazzo Ducale.
Thisi s not related to the summit but I wanted to add this to show a beautiful this place is.
Utttz says that Italy is not only Rome and Venice. He is right. Leave a Comment

This is called "Sala del Gran Consiglio", let me translate as "Greater Counsel Main Hall".
Here the top meetings took place.
The whole building has been restructured to host separate meetings all over the second and third floor. Leave a Comment

On july 19th, Piazza de Ferrari in all its beauty...
Italians are able to make miracles if they really want.
Or I see this as a miracle because italians tend to make works last for years?
The choice is yours. Leave a Comment

As you can see, policemen were everywhere, often hampering the works.
Security was important, anyway, because terrorists had announced that they would have attacked the red zone during the Summit Leave a Comment

Piazza Matteotti as seen from inside Palazzo Ducale.
It was crowded with people working hard.
Premier Berlusconi came here three times to make a survey and changed his mind on what to do three times, we went mad!! Leave a Comment

Works in progress here in Palazzo Ducale.
As I told before, Berlusconi came here many times and always wanted to order changes.
After the second visit I asked the last visit's date and decided to do NOTHING until that date. So I saved people and money from doing useless changes Leave a Comment

Piazza de Ferrari just a few days before the Summit.
I didn't know what they were working on. I was not responsible for architectonical improvements (luckily).
They were working on a fontain. Leave a Comment
