context_page_description: Maria Brignole Sale De Ferrari, Duchess of Galliera was an Italian noblewoman and philanthropist.. She enabled the foundation of the first museums in her birthplace of Genoa, the Palazzo Rosso and Palazzo Bianco as well as the Galliera Hospital and the San Filippo children's hospital. A statue of her by Giulio Monteverde stands in the hospital gardens.
context_section_description: Raffaele had in the meantime become senator of the Kingdom of Italy in 1858 and - now effectively without an heir thanks to Filippo's decisions - he decided to devote himself to public works and philanthropy, giving 20,000,000 lira to improve the Port of Genoa, money which also funded the construction of several other pieces of infrastructure, most notably the Galliera, Lucedio and Giano jetties. Raffaele died in 1876 and his widow continued his philanthropic activity as well as that begun by her father Antonio. As well as the "Galliera", "S.Andrea" and "S.Filippo" hospitals, sited around an old Franciscan nunnery, she founded a fourth, the "San Raffaele" in the city's Coronata district.
  In 1874 she donated Palazzo Rosso to the city and also left it Palazzo Bianco in her will - they became two of the three sites of the Strada Nuova Museums. In Paris she also built a palace to house her family art collection, but when the French government confiscated all the lands and buildings of the Orleans family, Maria decided to leave that palace to the city of Paris without the artworks, which she instead housed in Palazzo Rosso - the palace in Paris now houses a costume and fashion museum. She also built an old people's home and orphanage, both in Meudon near Paris, costing a total of 47,000,000 francs and both still in operation.
  She died in Paris and a special train took her body to Voltri for burial beside her husband in the crypt of the Sanctuary of Madonna delle Grazie, which he had acquired from the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1864 in order to return it to its original Capuchin owners, from whom it had been confiscated through the laws of that kingdom. The Villa Brignole Sale Duchessa di Galliera in Voltri was left to a charitable "opera pia" - since 1931 it has been used and part-owned by the city council of Genoa. The title of Duke of Galliera passed to the Duke of Montpensier, last surviving direct descendant of Louis Philippe, childhood friend of his brother Andrea - it is still held by the Spanish Orleans branch.
