The palazzo Pallavicini-Cambiaso or palazzo Agostino Pallavicini is a building located in via Garibaldi at number 1 in the historical centre of 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.
Originally built from 1558, on behalf of Agostino Pallavicini (+1575), ambassador to the court of Spain, brother of Tobia Pallavicino, who in the same years commissioned the palace at no.
The designer was Bernardino Cantone, a collaborator of Galeazzo Alessi in the arrangement of Piazza delle Fontane Marose and the opening of Strada Nuova.
The façade of the building, which is very elegant, has an ashlar facing of grey stone that sets off the white marble of the plinths, in which an 18th-century votive aedicule is well framed.
Among the outstanding features of the building – relatively modest in size but enhanced by its direct location on the street and the nearby Piazza delle Fontane Marose – are the Rape of the Sabine Women scene in the drawing room on the piano nobile and the Story of Cupid and Psyche in the great hall, both painted by the Genoese painters Andrea and Ottavio Semino.
