Palazzo Costa Spinola

The Palazzo Costa Spinola features a facade painted with elaborate trompe l'oeil architectural details that trick the eye into seeing depth where there is only flat stone. This palazzo served as the primary residence for the powerful Costa family before passing to the Spinola line. During the nineteenth century, the interior halls hosted frequent gambling sessions where local aristocrats lost entire family fortunes in a single night of cards. The gaming tables remained a fixture of the main floor for decades.
