Maledetti Architetti is a programme of free guided tours through which the City of Genoa and the Foundation of the Order of Architects present the city's 20th-century architecture. The name jokingly borrows from Tom Wolfe's pamphlet and from the often difficult relationship between Genoa and its modern buildings. The 2026 edition marks the centenary of Greater Genoa and includes at least one site in every district. On Wednesday 11 November visitors can tour the Luigi Ferraris stadium; on Thursday 12 at 4.30 pm the State Archives host a free talk on the architect Venceslao Borzani. On Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November the sites include the Quarto Alto housing estate and the church of the Tabernacolo. Tours are free and booked online.
