Genoa, Via Garibaldi
The Via Garibaldi was formerly known as the Strada Nuova and was built for aristocratic families and erected between the mid 16th Century and the first 20 years of the 18th Century. The street was designed by Italian architect Galeazzo Alessi. More than 13 old buildings are fronting the street. Just a few of the buildings remain as homes and as banking headquarters.
