Wednesday we explored the famous Via Garibaldi, now a pedestrian street where there are a gazillion palaces jammed all in a row: Palazzo Rosso, Palazzo Bianco etc etc all built by rich people to boast about their wealth and to entertain foreign dignitaries with the intention to have stable international relations. Gave the exploration of these places full of ostentatious furniture a miss. We were satisfied with looking at them on line. They are impossible to photograph because they are tall, and on top of each other.
Here is a link to get an idea of their size and nature, and below, some of my attempts to photograph them.
Here are some photos of just the entrance hall to a palace that is now a bank -
And there were little delights to be glimpsed through every open door.
And traces of the former splendour were everywhere
