This beautiful palazzo was built in 1792. It was designed by Angelo Venturoli. Nowadays it is home to the university's faculty of Political Science. It contains an attractive garden with a "courtyard of honor". Beyond the entrance courtyard, there is a loggia with a staircase which is decorated with statues by De Maria which were also based on designs by the architect Venturoli. The building contains frescoes which were painted by Minozzi and by Pedrini. If you happen to be passing by, we recommend that you go and take a look at the beautiful rooms which each contain frescoes of a different theme.
