In the extraordinary setting of via Garibaldi (Genoa), the magnificent Renaissance and Baroque Strada Nuova declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, there is an original museum itinerary that connects three important Genoese palaces: Palazzo Rosso, Palazzo Bianco, and Palazzo Doria Tursi.

Built in the Age of the Genoese, Palazzo Doria Tursi, in addition to hosting the Mayor's reception rooms, houses the expansion of the Galleria di Palazzo Bianco.

In the monumental rooms, celebrated pieces such as the Guarneri del Gesù, a violin owned by Paganini, a remarkable display of decorative artworks, and the collection of coins, weights, and official measures of the ancient Republic of Genoa are exhibited.

 A specially arranged room in Palazzo Tursi is dedicated to Niccolò Paganini (1782-1840), as the famous Genoese violinist and composer, in his will, wanted to leave his favorite instrument to his hometown so that it may be perpetually preserved, the one he had nicknamed "my cannon violin" for its full sound, while other artist's memorabilia have been added over time through the generosity of heirs or other means.
