Palazzo Giacomo Lomellini

The Palazzo Giacomo Lomellini, also known as the Palazzo Giacomo Lomellini, is a building in Largo Zecca at number 2 in Genoa, included on 13 July 2006 in the list of the 42 palaces inscribed in the Rolli di Genova that became World Heritage by UNESCO on that date. Built between 1619 and 1623 by Giacomo Lomellini, the Palazzo Giacomo Lomellini served as the headquarters of the Italian Army Military Command in Liguria since 1945. It was attached to the adjoining Palazzo De Marini-Spinola of the priory of Sant’Agnese. Domenico Fiasella's cycle of frescoes illustrating Stories of Ester can be seen inside the Palazzo Giacomo Lomellini. The cycle of frescoes was directly inspired by Ansaldo Cebà's contemporary literary work La Reina Esther. The biblical heroine Esther, who risks her life to save her people, alludes to the feat of Doge Giacomo Lomellini.
