Description
The Giannettino Luxoro Museum is a house museum in the Nervi Parks, at the far eastern end of Genoa: a 1903 villa overlooking the rocky shore, furnished like a collector's home, with paintings, clocks, ceramics and nativity figurines.
The rooms have stayed as they were, each with its own purpose, and stepping inside you feel like a guest of the Luxoro family.
Among the paintings are the Pittor Pitocco by Alessandro Magnasco and the landscapes of Antonio Travi; then the nativity figurines from the 17th to the 19th century, including those by Pasquale Navone, the clocks from Giuseppe Campani's workshop, silverware, furniture, and Chinese and Ligurian ceramics.
The villa was built by the Luxoro brothers, who left it to the City of Genoa in memory of Giannettino Luxoro, killed in World War I. All around is a garden of pines, palms, carob trees and cypresses.
