During the Renaissance, the area became subject to intense building, mainly consisting of public housing.

[2] According to historian Marcello Staglieno, the original house was most likely destroyed in the French Bombardment of Genoa in 1684.

However, the upper stories were built by placing their beams on the neighboring buildings.

Its central location and nearby parking make it a popular meeting place for the Genovese.
