Palazzo del Monte di Pietà, Mannerist palace on via XXIV Maggio, Messina, Italy.
The palace features a central rusticated portal with a broken pediment, flanked by two windows with triangular pediments on each side.
Construction began in 1616 under architect Natale Masuccio, with substantial modifications in 1741 including the addition of a first floor and bell tower.
The building served as a pawnshop to provide financial assistance for lower-income residents of Messina during its early operation period.
The structure contains a large vaulted hall opening into a courtyard that connects to the Church of Santa Maria della Pietà through a monumental staircase.
A statue of Abundance by sculptor Ignazio Buceti stands at the center of the grand staircase, marking the 1741 renovation period.
