The Palazzo dai Portici Neri in Chiavari.
Located in the heart of Chiavari, the Palazzo dai Portici Neri is one of the oldest and most fascinating buildings in the city. Built in the 13th century, this historic palace is located in Piazza Fenice, near the castle and the ancient medieval walls.
The palace originally belonged to Opizzo Fieschi, a member of one of the most influential families of medieval Liguria. Its elegant façade, brought to light during the restoration work of 1959, is characterized by squared stone walls and tall porticos that give the building an imposing and majestic appearance.
The structure of the palace reflects the typical architectural style of the time, with a large, rounded portico on the ground floor, surmounted by a two-tone façade with triple lancet windows on the first floor and a second floor in brick with two-tone bands. This design not only adds an aesthetic touch, but also demonstrates the importance and wealth of the Fieschi family.
In addition to its historical and architectural importance, Palazzo dai Portici Neri is a cultural symbol for Chiavari. Its central location makes it a point of reference for residents and tourists, who can admire the beauty of the palace while exploring the historic streets of the city.

I refer you to the Chiavari tourist promotion website: chiavariturismo.it. This is the official website of the town's municipality: comune.chiavari.ge.it.
If you are looking for a nice portal that talks about all of Liguria I invite you to visit the official website of the Region: lamialiguria.it.
Every time I look for some book about the beautiful town of Chiavari I always come across these two books about its mysteries: Luoghi Misteriosi Chiavari. Giro della città in 38 segreti and La Loggia dei Rosa+Croce di Chiavari. If instead you want to have a guide that talks about Liguria and the Gulf of Tigullio in general I invite you to buy: Genova e il Tigullio by Lonely Planet.
