Guided Tours
16 Jul 2023 -
The Friends of Paganini organizes guided tours about the places related to Paganini’s life in the historical city centre of Genoa. In 2014 an itinerary with 12 stops, “La Genova di Paganini” (Paganini’s city of Genoa) has been created, which starts from the Palazzo Reale (Royal Palace), where Paganini performed in front of King Carlo Felice and the Queen in 1827, and ends in front of the Villetta Di Negro (Di Negro Estate), where a bust of the violinist had been erected and then stolen overnight.
With the involvement of professional guides for the historical-architectural part and musicologists for the content about Paganini, the visits may cover either the entire itinerary or just selected stops, for a duration ranging from 1 up to 2.5 hours; the best seasons for such guided tours are spring and autumn – during the Paganini Genova Festival
