History
There is little information about the palace, which was built at the end of the 16th centuryprobably by the architect Gaspare Corte on the commission of Giorgio Centurione, [1] later Doge of the Republic of Genoa in 1621–1622. Giorgio Centurione's daughter, Virginia (1587—1651), later married to Gaspare Grimaldi Bracelli, founder of the order of the Sisters of Our Lady of Refuge in Monte Calvario, was sanctified by Pope John Paul II in 2003. Known as Saint Virginia Centurione Bracelli, she started out in the building in Via Lomellini as a caregiver for poor girls, which was later continued in the convent of Monte Calvario, while the congregation of nuns she founded under the protection of Emanuele Brignole, founder of the Grande Albergo dei Poveri, took the name «brignoline». [2]
The Doria family acquired it in the 18th century. Partially reconstructed in the 19th century (atrium and stairwell), it is currently joined to two other buildings behind it by a bridge over the closed vico del Leone and overlooking vico dell’Oro. [3]
