APPRODI: The bond of the sea — youth and culture at Villa Pallavicino

Palazzo Foundation presents APPRODI: The bond of the sea, a project that links maritime themes with cultural heritage, innovation and social inclusion. The launch event takes place in Genoa with a special evening opening of Villa Pallavicino delle Peschiere on 28 April 2026.

Evening programme

• Guided tours of the Musei Civici di Strada Nuova, including Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Tursi, led by students from the d:cult advanced training course at the University of Genoa.
• Immersive experience inside Villa delle Peschiere featuring storytelling that blends art, landscape and memory.
• Opera in Villa: a reduced performance of La Traviata set among the villa's painted cycles.
• Networking opportunities for institutions, stakeholders and cultural organisations to build collaborative projects.

Why attend
