The Palazzo Negrone is located at Piazza delle Fontane Marose 3 and 4. It was part of the Rolli system, where the Republic used private palaces to host high-ranking guests during state visits. The building is one of 42 palaces selected and declared a heritage site in July 2006. It has been under official protection since the year 2000.
The building's modern appearance is the result of a facade reconstruction at the end of the 18th century by Antonio Barabino for the Marchese Negrone. This construction incorporated an earlier structure built between 1560 and 1562 for Francesco De Ugarte. The property later passed to the Spinola and Ayrolo families before becoming the property of the Negroni family.
During the expansion and realignment of Salita di Santa Caterina, adjustments were made to the connections between the street, Piazza delle Fontane Marose, and Via Carlo Felice. To accommodate these changes, the marble portals were raised in 1870. This work included a further compositional adjustment of the building's facades.
