Timeless Elegance of Palazzo Pallavicini

Palazzo Pallavicini stands as a testament to Bologna's rich history and architectural beauty.

Constructed in the late 15th century under the Bentivoglio dominion, it was originally owned by the Sala family in 1493. Over the years, it passed through notable families, including the Volta, Marsili, and Isolani counts, who, in 1680, commissioned renovations that emphasized senatorial architecture. The famed architect Paolo Canali designed a monumental staircase and a lantern-shaped ceiling hall, the tallest in the city, complemented by artworks from Giovanni Antonio Burrini.
