Le Strade Nuove e il sistema dei palazzi dei Rolli di Genova
Genoa: Le Strade Nuove and the system of the Palazzi dei Rolli is a notable urban ensemble in Genoa, Italy, recognized for its historical and architectural significance. Established in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, this area comprises a network of elegant streets (Le Strade Nuove) and a series of opulent palaces (Palazzi) that were part of an innovative public lodging system. The Palazzi dei Rolli were included in a list, or "rolli," which designated them as official accommodations for state visits. Distinguished for their grandiose façades, intricate interior decorations, and impressive courtyards, these palaces exemplify Renaissance and Baroque architectural styles. The system demonstrated the Republic of Genoa's wealth and social hierarchy, as the palaces were owned by the city's most influential aristocratic families. In 2006, "Genoa: Le Strade Nuove and the system of the Palazzi dei Rolli" was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, recognizing their outstanding universal value and importance in urban planning and architectural design.
