Palace Romagnoli, Palace in Cesena, Italy

Palace Romagnoli is a palace in Cesena with a U-shaped structure spanning three main floors, featuring a central section with two lower lateral wings. The interior connects through two symmetrical side staircases, accessed via a deep entrance hall marked by a semicircular stone portal.

The palace was originally owned by the Maraldi family before Prospero Romagnoli acquired it in 1711. Major renovations between 1753 and 1765 gave the building its present appearance.

The palace's name comes from the Romagnoli family, who owned it until the line died out in 1899. In the main hall hangs Giuseppe Milani's 'Apotheosis of Julius Caesar', painted between 1755 and 1760; Milani and his workshop also decorated the other rooms. The wooden furnishings come from the workshop of Giovanni and Antonio Urbini.

The best way to explore the building is to enter through the broad entrance hall and use the lateral staircases to reach the upper floors. The layout is straightforward to navigate and you can move through the rooms in a natural sequence.

The Urbini workshop's rococo work here is not free-standing carving but the carved doors and wooden surfaces themselves, made by Giovanni and Antonio Urbini. Look for them alongside the sculptures Francesco Callegari placed on the right staircase landing and in the loggias and salon corners.
