History
Built in 1675, Palazzo Rosso was not one of the 163 Palazzi dei Rolli of Genoa, the selected private residences where the notable guests of the Republic of Genoa were hosted during State visits, as the last of such list was completed in 1664, ten years before the construction of the palace. As a distinguished 17th-century palace in Strada Nuova, however, on 13 luglio del 2006 it was included in the list of 42 palaces which now form the UNESCO World Heritage Site Genoa: Le Strade Nuove and the system of the Palazzi dei Rolli. In 1874, the last descendant of the family, the Duchess of Galliera Maria Brignole Sale, bequeathed to the Municipality of Genoa the palace and the art collections therein, which constitute the first nucleus of today's art gallery.

After 3 years of renovation, the Palazzo reopened in June 2022.
