Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova → Museo Civico di Storia Naturale Giacomo Doria – As far as I'm aware, this is the most used name for the museum, including "Giacomo Doria" with or without quotes (e.g. [1] [2]), rather than "di Genova" (i.e. "of Genoa"). Google lists more results for the current title than the proposed one, but in fact many of the results, including Google's knowledge panel, actually seem to give the latter name or variations in their text. What makes me unsure about the name choice however is the fact that the museum's own website in Italian omits "Civico" currently: [3]. This also seems to be true of a few other natural history museums in Italy, however, and oddly enough the map on the website of this museum still gives the name of the museum with "Civico" in it anyway. So should the page have "Civico" in it or not? Alternatively, the page could be moved to "Natural History Museum Giacomo Doria" following the website's English-language pages [4].

To support the "This also seems to be true of a few other natural history museums in Italy" statement:

Trieste: "Civico Museo di Storia Naturale" vs "Museo di Storia Naturale" [5] (this one is weird though, it is called "Civic Museum of Natural History" in the English-language pages [6], implying the "Civico" is still part of the name, on top of the fact it also shows the museum's Italian name with "Civico" included)
Verona: "Museo Civico di Storia Naturale" vs "Museo di Storia Naturale" [7]. Monster Iestyn (talk) 14:04, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
