Palazzo della Nuova Borsa (New Stock Exchange Palace), Genoa
The New Stock Exchange Palace is a stunning example of early 20th-century architecture. Constructed between 1906 and 1912, its neo-Renaissance-style façade, sweeps in a curved semicircle, crowned by a grand pediment inscribed with “BORSA” in gold lettering, reflecting the building’s historic role as Italy’s first stock exchange.
The design of the building was led by engineers Dario Carbone and Amedeo Pieragostini, while the lavish interior decoration was created by Adolfo Coppedè, blending neo-16th-century exteriors with elegant Art Nouveau interiors. The "Hall of Cries", once the main trading hall with its spacious 960 m² footprint and marble columns, now serves as a versatile venue for exhibitions, conferences, and cultural events.
Originally built to separate the stock exchange from the commodities market, New Stock Exchange Palace debuted with a national celebration in July 1912, drawing financial figures and government leaders from across Italy. Today, while its official function has evolved, the palace still plays a pivotal role in city life, hosting events related to contemporary culture, business, and heritage.
