Palazzo Ardinghelli, Baroque palace and contemporary art museum in L'Aquila, Italy.
The grand entrance of Palazzo Ardinghelli leads to a porticoed courtyard featuring a monumental staircase decorated with Venetian frescoes by Vincenzo Damini.
Francesco Fontana designed this noble residence between 1732 and 1743, incorporating elements from existing Renaissance buildings of the Cappa and Camponeschi families.
The palace houses MAXXI L'Aquila museum since 2021, presenting national contemporary art collections within its restored Baroque architecture.
Located steps from Fontana Luminosa and Corso Vittorio Emanuele, the palace connects Piazza Santa Maria Paganica to Via Giuseppe Garibaldi through its inner courtyard.
The Russian government contributed 7.2 million euros to restore the palace after the 2009 earthquake, enabling the discovery of previously unknown valuable paintings.
