Casa Cogollo, Renaissance palace in Vicenza, Italy

The Casa Cogollo presents a narrow facade with engaged columns, a ground floor arch, and an upper story featuring a tabernacle frame for frescoes.

The town council required notary Pietro Cogollo to remodel his 15th-century house facade in 1559, leading to the construction of this Renaissance building.

The palace exemplifies Andrea Palladio's architectural principles through its symmetrical design, classical elements, and adaptation to spatial constraints within an urban setting.

Visitors can find Casa Cogollo in the historic center of Vicenza, where it stands as part of the UNESCO World Heritage collection of Palladian buildings.

The building's design overcame spatial limitations by focusing on the central axis, creating an effective solution for the restricted window placement in the piano nobile.
