Palazzo Baldassini, City palace in Ponte, Italy
Palazzo Baldassini is a Renaissance city palace featuring a quadrangular courtyard surrounded by a two-story loggia. The loggia is adorned with Tuscan pilasters and Ionic columns that line Via delle Coppelle.
Antonio da Sangallo the Younger designed this palace between 1516 and 1519 for Melchiorre Baldassini, a prominent official in the apostolic chancery. The building emerged as a representative residence for this wealthy family during the Renaissance period.
The ground floor displays painted vaulted ceilings with grotesque designs created by Giovanni da Udine. Upstairs, the rooms feature frescoes by Perin del Vaga that add artistic richness to the interior spaces.
The palace now houses the Istituto Luigi Sturzo and functions as an educational institution located at Via delle Coppelle 35. Visitors should note that the spaces are part of an active institution and may only be accessible during certain hours.
Several sections of the original fresco cycle depicting ancient history were transferred to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence for safekeeping. This relocation reflects how significant these artistic works are to Italian cultural heritage.
