Palazzo San Giorgio, Genoa, Italy - Sala delle Compere
Home of the Bank of St. George (est. 1407), one of the most powerful and oldest chartered banks in Europe, the building incorporates a section of the original Medieval structure, built in 1260 by order of People’s Capitain Guglielmo Boccanegra and designed by the famous Cistercian monk, Friar Oliverio. In 1570 the building was extended to the south, as a result of the growing fortune and functions of the Casa di San Giorgio. Sala delle Compere was built in that period. Statues of the protectors of the Compere di San Giorgio were placed in the rooms. In 1903 it became the headquarters of the Port Authority of Genoa. During the World War II the building was damaged by bombings as some of the statues witness.
