Palazzo Sampieri Talon, Medieval palace in Strada Maggiore, Bologna, Italy
The three-story stone building stands without the typical portico of Bologna, featuring a central arched entrance and regular window patterns across its facade.
The palace underwent major renovations from 1542 to 1554 under Vincenzo Sampieri, who acquired the property from Camillo Paleotti to establish his family residence.
The ground floor rooms contain frescoes created by Ludovico, Annibale, and Agostino Carracci in 1593, depicting scenes from Hercules mythology on vaulted ceilings.
The palace maintains its original structure despite attempts to remove artworks, with three significant frescoes now displayed at the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan.
The building differs from neighboring structures along Strada Maggiore by being set back from the street and lacking the characteristic Bologna arcade system.
