Palazzi di Genova is a 1622 book written and illustrated by Peter Paul Rubens, depicting and describing the palaces of Genoa, Italy in 72 plates.A second volume with 67 further plates was added the same year, and they are usually found (and reprinted) together.Rubens was an admirer of the architecture of Italy, as evidenced in his own house, the Rubenshuis in Antwerp.The Genoese style, developed by architects like Galeazzo Alessi, became very popular, and their distribution in Northern Europe was at least partially due to the book by Rubens.Examples of this include the Hôtel de Ville, Lyon.
