Villa Madre Cabrini
Villa Madre Cabrini

Villa Madre Cabrini, formerly Villa Acquarone, is a villa in the Castelletto quarter of Genoa, Liguria, Northwestern Italy. It is situated in a panoramic location on the hill of Bachernia, commanding open views over the Old City, the harbor and the Gulf of Genoa. Throughout its history, the villa has played an important role in the urban development and cultural life of the quarter. In the 18th century, it was one of the first suburban villas built in the old hamlet of Bachernia, giving impulse to the urbanization of the area. Then the property of the noble Acquarone family, the villa and its owner, Pietro Acquarone, II Count d'Acquarone, were in the 19th century at the heart of establishment of the economically and culturally active via Acquarone neighborhood. In 1890, the villa was the birthplace of Pietro d'Acquarone, IV Count e I Duke d'Acquarone, the future Brigade General, businessman, Senator of the Kingdom of Italy and, most importantly, Minister to the Royal Household of the Kingdom of Italy under Victor Emmanuel III from 1939 to 1944, in which capacity he played a major role in the downfall of Benito Mussolini on July 25th, 1943.In the early 20th century, the villa was sold by the Acquarone family to the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and it became a renowned educational and cultural center. The boarding school established in Genoa in 1894 by Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini M.S.C was transferred there in 1917. Today the main building has been reconverted to residential use, while the educational activity continues in the annex built in 1934–38, known as the public School San Paolo.
