The diocesan museum of Genova offers and amazing overview of Genovese art. It walks you through the evolution of painting in Genova through a relatively small but excellent collection of local paintings. Some of the paintings are of a remarkable quality and relevance. The museum is in an old cloister with a very nice cloister yard. You can also visit the exquisite “Genova Blue”, which are centuries old, painted sheets for the Easter passion week. Well worth a visit if you like Italian paintings and religious artwork.

A stone's throw from the Cathedral and housed in its primitive cloister, the Diocesan Museum is an essential step in the knowledge and history of the city. In addition to the intrinsic beauty of the medieval building - the ancient Cloister of the Canons -, it preserves valuable pieces including paintings, sculptures, textiles and jewelery, in a chronological period that starts from Roman archaeological remains up to the modern era. . Among the various works on display, some canvases by Luca Cambiaso - the Last Supper, the Crucifixion and God the Father blessing -, undoubtedly the most internationally known Ligurian artist, thanks to the complexity of his artistic experience, his quality as a draftsman and above all to his work at the Escorial in Madrid, which confirms his notoriety in the panorama of the late sixteenth century in Europe. Also worthy of mention are the luminous "gold backgrounds" of Barnaba da Modena (14th and 15th centuries), the funerary monument of Cardinal Luca Fieschi, a work from a Pisan workshop (14th century), the Madonna Enthroned by Perin del Vaga (15th century) . XVI) and the wooden sculptures by Anton Maria Maragliano (XVIII century). Absolute unicum in the European - if not world - panorama are the so-called Blu di Genova, very rare sixteenth-century '' jeans fabric '' cloths dyed in blue - and for this reason considered the ancestor of Jeans - painted in white monochrome and depicting the Stories of the Passion of Christ, that is, all those episodes in the life of Jesus that prelude to his Crucifixion. The sheets have particular shapes and holes, due to the fact that on Holy Thursday they were assembled in the form of a small building (commonly called the Sepulcher), into which one could enter to adore the Eucharist. ?➡ the Diocesan Museum `` A two steps from the Cathedral '' can be easily reached by motorbike by car or by public transport. ?.? ?
