Genoa, Italy – Boxing Day – Porto Antico – Palazzo San Giorgio


Palazzo San Giorgio

This building was a pleasure to see. So much beauty and vibrant artwork. I searched online to identify the frescoed figures on the historic building, but found conflicting information.

S, 🇮🇹

According to Renato Prosciutto In Italy:

The exterior is painted entirely with frescoes. The frescoes on the facade facing the sea depict mythological figures and local heroes. These include St. George and the DragonJanus (with two faces), NeptuneCaffaro di RusticoAndrea DoriaSimon BoccanegraGuglielmo EmbriacoChristopher Columbus and Biagio Assereto. The frescoes were painted by Lazzaro Tavarone between 1606 and 1608. They replaced paintings done by Andrea Semino in 1591.

The statues in the niches on the facade depict the same six heroic figures from the city’s history.

The “Our Lady of the Assumption” in the Aedicula on the Piazza della Raibetta side dates from the 18th century.
