Casa del Mantegna, Renaissance residential palace in Mantua, Italy.
The Casa del Mantegna features a square layout of 25 meters on each side with a central circular courtyard inspired by ancient Roman architecture.
In 1476, Louis III Gonzaga granted this land to Andrea Mantegna following his completion of the Chamber of the Spouses frescoes at Palazzo Ducale.
The residence contains fifteen rooms that displayed Mantegna's collection of antiquities, establishing the first private museum of ancient art in Italy.
The palace opens its doors to visitors without entrance fees, allowing exploration of Renaissance architectural elements and temporary art exhibitions.
The circular courtyard transforms into an octagon at the upper level, creating mathematical precision in spatial arrangements characteristic of Renaissance architecture.
