The Albergo dei Poveri in Genoa is an imposing 17th-century building founded by the noble Emanuele Brignole as a charitable institution to provide shelter, food, and education to the needy. Inside, it houses a church with four large inner courtyards and holds a large number of artistic, pictorial, and sculptural works from different schools and movements, both Italian and European.
