1211 IT - Genoa: Le Strade Nuove and the system of the Palazzi dei Rolli (2006)

Brief Description

"The Strade Nuove and the system of the Palazzi dei Rolli in Genoa’s historic centre date from the late 16th and early 17th centuries when the Republic of Genoa was at the height of its financial and seafaring power. The site represents the first example in Europe of an urban development project parcelled out by a public authority within a unitary framework and associated to a particular system of ‘public lodging’ in private residences, as decreed by the Senate in 1576. The site includes an ensemble of Renaissance and Baroque palaces along the so-called ‘new streets’ (Strade Nuove). The Palazzi dei Rolli offer an extraordinary variety of different solutions, achieving universal value in adapting to the particular characteristics of the site and to the requirements of a specific social and economic organization. They also offer an original example of a public network of private residences designated to host state visits."

热那亚的新街和罗利宫殿体系
"热那亚历史中心的新街和罗利宫殿体系(16世纪末和17世纪初)是欧洲第一个在统一框架内的城市发展项目。在那里,城市发 展规划由政府当局和一个专门的“公众居住”系统在法律的基础上统一安排部署。罗利宫殿是由热那亚共和国最富有最有权势的贵族家庭修建的,那时的热那亚财政 实力和航海业都处在巅峰时期。这一处遗址包括所称“新街”两边的文艺复兴时期的剧团和巴洛克风格的宫殿。这些宏伟的宫殿式住宅于16世纪末建于新街街道 (即今天的加里波第路),四分之一的贵族住在这里。根据1528年的宪法,这些贵族接管了共和国政府的大权。宫殿一般有三四层楼高,楼梯是敞开式的,很壮 观。院子也很大,每层都有一个面积不大、可以俯视花园的凉台。这种城市设计风格的影响反映在其后几十年意大利和欧洲的文学作品中。宫殿系统提供了各种解决 方案,在适应遗址的个性特点和特定的社会经济组织的要求方面具有普遍价值。它们还提供了一个先例,就是为外国客人来访建立一个公共接待室联系。为此,众议 院于1576年正式颁布了一项法令。这些宫殿的主人有义务对国事访问进行招待,从而有利于向慕名来访的著名艺术家和游客传播建筑模型和居住文化知识,其中 一个很经典的例子就是画家彼得•保罗•鲁本斯(Pieter Paul Ruben)的一系列作品。"
