WHO WE
ARE

The Curator and Director of the Park is Silvana Ghigino, an architect and landscape architect who has been involved in various capacities with the property for over forty years.

Professor of the Historic Garden Restoration Course at the Faculty of Architecture of Genoa (DAD) and professor of specialization at the Ligurian Academy of Fine Arts for the School of Decoration.

Together with the architect Fabio Calvi, over time she has worked on several historic parks including:

– Villa Serra Park in Comago, 

– Garden of Prince Doria in Genoa,

– Park of Villa Rocca in Chiavari

The great love of her professional life is the Park of Villa Durazzo Pallavicini in Pegli which sees her engaged every day in a global action, as 

Director, designer but also gardener, conservator and enhancer

of all those historical and intimate aspects that make this Park a true work of art.

Scholar of philosophical and esoteric themes, a passion developed over time thanks to the solicitations received from the Park, she personally accompanies visitors to discover the esoteric-Masonic meanings that the Marquis Ignazio Pallavicini and his architect Michele Canzio sowed on the nine hectares of land.

Inside the Park also leads specialist visits dedicated to the world of plants and the arts.

Anyone who enters Villa Pallavicini should keep their eyes open because they can spot the Director in one of her many activities in the Park!
