Palazzo Bentivoglio, Renaissance palace in Bologna, Italy
The palace displays a sand-colored sandstone facade with no porticos and features a double-tiered loggia courtyard designed by Tibaldi and Falcetti.
After the destruction of the original Bentivoglio residence in 1507, Costanzo Bentivoglio commissioned this new palace in 1551 near the former family compound.
The interior halls contain ceiling frescoes and ornate friezes created by artists from the Tibaldi school, representing Renaissance artistic conventions.
The palace structure now incorporates private residences divided from the original grand historical rooms, with access to an extensive garden.
In 1713, Count Girolamo transformed the main hall into an artificial lagoon filled with flowers and boats that delivered food to guests.
