Casa Antonio Pigafetta, Gothic palace in Vicenza, Italy
The Casa Antonio Pigafetta presents International Gothic architecture with intricate decorative elements, trilobate windows, and Renaissance-style motifs across three floors.
Built in 1440 and modified in 1481 by Matteo Pigafetta, this palace stands as the birthplace of Antonio Pigafetta, who documented Magellan's global expedition.
The building incorporates French inscriptions, including 'Il n'est roses sans espine' above the entrance, reflecting the sophisticated medieval cultural influences of the period.
Located in central Vicenza, the palace remains a private residence, allowing visitors to view its detailed exterior facade and architectural features from the street.
The palace displays an array of decorative elements, including winged griffins, eagles, cornucopias, and elaborate bas-reliefs between the windows on its upper level.
