One of Italy's best loved 20th-century architects, Franco Albini was a key figure in the restoration of Genova's palazzi in the post war period. The third floor of the Palazzo Rosso hides an Italian mid-century gem – an apartment Albini designed for the museum's director, now open to the public. Its mix of signature Albini furniture, clean modern lines and Genovese excess, will delight design fans (the city views aren't bad either).
