Villa Di Negro Rosazza dello Scoglietto

Villa Di Negro Rosazza, known as dello Scoglietto or lo Scoglietto, is a villa in the San Teodoro quarter of Genoa in northwestern Italy. It was built in 1565 for the Doge Ambrogio Di Negro, or for his son Orazio, in a coastal area that at the time lay outside the city walls. The villa passed to the Durazzo family, who commissioned a renovation in the neoclassical style at the end of the eighteenth century; in the nineteenth century, construction of the Turin-Genoa railway destroyed the garden on the seaward side, while the hillside grounds remained largely untouched. The villa and its park are now owned by the Municipality of Genoa and are set aside for public use, and stand near the Dinegro station of the Genoa Metro.
