A monumental seventeenth-century complex built to house the poors of the city, partly reused today by the University.
An extraordinary example of public welfare service, built in the mid-seventeenth century with a big fundraising from the local oligarchy to create a gigantic phalanstery capable of over 5000 seats, in an era in which Genoa had less than 65,000 inhabitants.
