In 1262, after Gugliemo was sent into exile, the palace functioned as a prison. It was here that Marco Polo, as a prisoner, dictated memories of Rusticiano's travels. In the 15th century, the palazzo housed the San Giorgio bank, which is one of the oldest in Genoa. Nowadays, the palace houses the administration of the Genoese port.
