Description

This elegant, single-storey raised palace decorated with Tuscan pilasters is a fine example of late 16th-century Ferrara architecture. Its design authorship has been attributed to Aleotti, but without any real documentary evidence. Moreover, its history is rather obscure: the commissioner is unknown and its current name reflects that of its 19th-century owners.
