Franco Albini (Robbiate, 1905 - Milano, 1977)
Back to Focus:
Realizzata da Franco Albini ai tempi del restauro e del riallestimento museografico di Palazzo Rosso nel decennio 1952-1961, questa scala, sostenuta da tiranti di acciaio, impreziosita da un corrimano rivestito in pelle e coperta da feltro rosso, è un segno forte dell’intervento dell’architetto razionalista su questi spazi antichi.
In quegli anni, secondo un progetto di stampo "idealista" voluto dall’allora Direttrice dell’Ufficio Belle Arti del Comune Caterina Marcenaro, vennero condotte al secondo piano nobile, con la collaborazione tecnica dello stesso Albini, operazioni alquanto invasive di "ripristino" della presunta facies seicentesca originale della dimora: se alla luce dei più consapevoli criteri del restauro moderno, alcuni di questi interventi risultano oggi fortemente discutibili, pur nel riconoscimento di un complessivo risultato di valorizzazione del palazzo Brignole-Sale e delle sue collezioni dopo i danni bellici, l’inserimento funzionale di questa scala nel corpo delle dipendenze del Palazzetto resta un elemento di qualità della progettazione albiniana anni ‘50, oltre che una preziosa testimonianza per Genova di quella nuova cultura architettonica e museografica che nel dopoguerra lasciò altri importanti esempi nei progetti di Carlo Scarpa per il Museo di Castelvecchio a Verona e per palazzo Abatellis a Palermo, o ancora in quelli dei BBPR per il Castello Sforzesco di Milano.

Descrizione:
The two sculptural groups were created by two Genoese sculptors, Bernardo Schiaffino and Francesco Biggi, probably based on designs by Domenico Parodi, the painter who created the frescoes and oversaw the decorative design of this room. Domenico Parodi was the son of the great Baroque sculptor Filippo Parodi, from whom he learned the art of sculpting marble and thinking in three dimensions, even in the creation of his frescoes, giving plasticity and monumentality to forms. The two sculptures were originally intended to be two fountains - the water flowed from a small pipe hidden inside the mouths of the two animals - and were placed in the small “indoor nymphaeum” commissioned by Anton Giulio, according to Brignole-Sale, inside this mezzanine. Here, in fact, by transforming what were normally service rooms, by 1710 the client had a private and totally exclusive apartment set up, embellished with luxurious furnishings and rich decorations. The choice of subjects is motivated by the fact that both episodes constitute two key points, the beginning and the end, of a narrative that covers the entire room, including the wooden doors of the built-in wardrobes, and retraces the salient episodes that mark the mythical origins of Rome: the birth of Helen, Paris' awarding of the apple of discord to Venus, Paris' abduction of Helen and, opposite, Aeneas' flight from Troy, finally arriving at the birth of Romulus and Remus. The marble group, a virtuoso work, illustrates a classical myth of which there are several versions, according to which the union of Leda and Jupiter, in the form of a swan, produced the egg from which the Dioscuri Pollux and the beautiful Helen were born.

Frugone Collections
The Frugone Collections is part of the group of Museums located in Nervi, together with the GAM Gallery of Modern Art, the Giannettino Luxoro Museum and the Wolfsonian Museum.
Villa Grimaldi Fassio, like the more imposing Saluzzo Serra, now the headquarters of GAM, is immersed in the splendid context of the park. To it the Municipality of Genoa has dedicated the collections of two entrepreneur brothers Lazzaro and Luigi Frugone, donated to the city respectively in 1935 and in 1953. The location lends itself perfectly to hosting the paintings, marbles and bronzes collected by the Frugone which testify to the sparkling atmosphere, both national and international, of the Belle Époque between the late 19th and early 20th century, with three extraordinary works by Giovanni Boldini, including the famous and magnetic portrait of Miss Bell, which alone warrants a visit to the museum.
Top Ten
The collections of these two refined collectors have no lack of examples of avante garde works of Symbolism and life painting and the representation of the landscape bathed in light, with some important works by the “Macchiaioli” Silvestro Lega, Telemaco Signorini and Giovanni Fattori.
Among the documented foreign artists, there are some works by leading figures from international post-impressionism including the great Spanish painter Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida.

Fantacinema
Fantacinema is a very particular exhibition-museum, in fact it is the only one of its kind, where visitors are immersed in a kind of dream that captivates both old and young. Covering an area of about 600 square metres, it is housed in the splendid spaces on the ground floor of the first module of the Magazzini del Cotone in the Old Port, renovated by the architect Renzo Piano.
Inside it three important private collections are available to the public. The Pittaluga collection preserves “magic lanterns”, very rare slide projectors and the first motion film making and projection tools. The Griffith collection which is made up of rare original films - from Méliès to the fantasy and horror classics of the silent era - on film or transferred to digital media, along with equipment for projecting and editing film from the post-war period to today. And finally the Cineciak collection which consists of objects, fibreglass sculptures, original film costumes, posters and stills from the 1920s (Nosferatu, Dracula, King Kong etc.) till today (Star wars, Batman, Harry Potter, etc.).
The exhibition, based entirely on the evocative power of the objects and the participation of the visitor, was designed by the architect Paola Fazio while Maurizio Gregorini acted as Cultural Manager for the Municipality of Genoa.
Exhibitions dedicated to specific themes are often set up in the 40 seat meeting room.
There is also a rich collection of rare and hard to find gadgets dedicated to fantasy/science fiction cinema.
