Autumn on the Ligurian coast is not only the velvet season, but also the time when ancient Genoa reveals its most intimate secrets to select guests. The main cultural event in October is the famous Rolli Days, which will take place from October 16th to 18th, 2026 – a unique opportunity to admire the architectural monuments of the maritime Republic of Genoa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Exclusive access to aristocratic treasures

During their golden age, the most influential Genoese families – Spinola, Doria, and Pallavicino – built grand residences worthy of hosting kings and popes. The official register of such residences was called the Rolli.

The October Rolli Days offer a rare opportunity to step into private palaces closed to mass tourism.

Guests can look forward to:
• The majestic palazzos of the city’s noble families on the renowned Via Garibaldi, which Rubens called the epitome of European architecture.
• Halls with original frescoes by great Baroque and late Renaissance masters.
• Enclosed courtyards, private gardens, and collections of rare art.

For discerning travelers, the Rolli Days in October are the perfect opportunity to combine immersion in history with impeccable comfort. The mild maritime climate and private tours accompanied by leading art historians allow you to truly appreciate the exclusive nature of the event.

• Excelsior Palace Portofino Coast – a grand hotel in the resort town of Rapallo, located on the coast of the Ligurian Sea, in the Gulf of Tigullio, 30 km from the center of Genoa. • Grand Hotel Bristol Spa Resort by R Collection Hotels – a sophisticated retro grand with a renovated spa, panoramic views and a classic Ligurian atmosphere.
