A palace at the site was initially commissioned in 1492 by the Fontanelli family, modifying a set of buildings at the site into a joined structure with a uniform facade. The foliated portico columns with gothic spandrels and the second story mullioned windows differ from the more classical, decorated portal, with motifs recalling Ancient Roman celebrations of trimphal arms. A refurbishment in 1928-1929 aimed to restore the original elements to the facade and courtyards. The main courtyard has an original well structure. The ceiling of the main staircase was frescoed with an allegory of Aurora and her carriage in the 19th century. [1] [2] [3]
