Palazzo Cosmo Centurione

Palazzo Cosmo Centurione, also known as Palazzo Durazzo Pallavicini or Palazzo di Gerolamo III Pallavicino, is a stunning example of Genoese Baroque architecture located in Via Lomellini at no. 8 in Genoa, Italy. Originally owned by Cosmo Centurione's family, it was later inherited by Senator Ansaldo Imperiale Lercari and underwent numerous renovations over the centuries, most notably during the 18th century by the Pallavicini family. Built along a road axis of persistent importance to the city, the residence was positively affected by the construction of the adjoining church and oratory of San Filippo Neri between 1674 and 1755.

The facades, the atrium, and the monumental staircase were redesigned by the architect Giacomo Viano between 1718 and 1724. Domenico Parodi was responsible for frescoing the gallery, and Giacomo Boni created stories of Zephyrus and Flora. The palace was further enlarged between 1756 and 1763 by the Bartolomeo and Giovanni Orsolino, who added a hanging garden. Today, Palazzo Cosmo Centurione stands as a stunning example of Genoese architecture and a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Genoese Baroque period.
