Carli Palace is a Neoclassical style palace located in Via Roma in the city center of Verona.
The building was commissioned by Marquis Giuseppe Della Torre in the second half of the 18th century. At his death in 1778, he left the building to his wife Elena Carli. A few years later, her brother Count Alessandro Carli rebuilt the palace improving its structure and, in 1812, he sold it to the Basilea brothers.
In 1839 the building was purchased by the Imperial Austrian Authorities as the house of Supremo Imperial Regio Senato di Giustizia del Regno Lombardo Veneto (the Supreme Court of Justice for the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia). It performed this function until 1851.
In 1853 the building became Field Marshal Johann Joseph Radetzky's residence, the Lombardo-Veneto Civilian and Military Governor.
In 1857 it was converted into an accommodation for high-rank guests, subsequently in 1859 the Archduke Albrecht, Duke of Teschen, Commander in Chief of the Veneto Army, established his Headquarters.
In October 1866, at the end of the Third War of Independence, the act of ceding of Verona to the Local Municipality was signed here, in the "Sala degli Stucchi".
The building maintained its military functions even under the Kingdom of Italy, as the seat of the Corps Headquarters deployed in Verona.
On February 22, 1951, an Italian four star Army headquarters (HQ) was activated in the building, but on July 10 it became a NATO headquarters, named Allied Land Forces Southern Europe (LANDSOUTH), until 1999, when it was reappointed as JOINT COMMAND SOUTH (JC SOUTH). The headquarters were de-activated on July 1, 2004.
Since 1997, Palazzo Carli has been the seat of the Italian Army Operational Land Forces Command (COMFOTER).

Venetian Renaissance architecture began rather later than in Florence, not really before the 1480s, and throughout the period mostly relied on architects imported from elsewhere in Italy. The city was very rich during the period, and prone to fires, so there was a large amount of building going on most of the time, and at least the facades of Venetian buildings were often particularly luxuriantly ornamented.
