D'Albertis Castle

Castello D'Albertis, in Genoa , was the home of its creator, Captain Enrico D'Albertis .

Historic home of Genoa, it is now home to the Museum of World Cultures and the Museum of People's Music . Built in 1886 on an ancient bastion of the fourteenth-century walls, it represents one of the most appreciated house-museums of the Ligurian capital.

Located on the Montegalletto hill in the Castelletto district, like its counterpart Mackenzie Castle it dominates the city of Genoa, overlooking an open view of the Ligurian Sea.

Traveling by sea and land between the 19th and 20th centuries, Captain D'Albertis had in fact enclosed his world in his home, in a romantic setting between "chambers of wonders" and colonial trophies. The D'Albertis Castle, with its historicist and exotic environments , testifies to the curiosity towards the unknown and the fascination that the distant worlds visited by the Captain have exercised on his spirit.

With the entrance into the sixteenth-century bastion, on which the neo-Gothic castle was built starting from 1886, a second visit path opens up, in which the archaeological and ethnographic material of the Museum of World Cultures is revealed through dialogue and exchange with the populations from which it comes.
