Palazzo Roverella-Magnanini, Renaissance city palace at Corso della Giovecca, Ferrara, Italy.
Palazzo Roverella-Magnanini is a Renaissance palace located on Corso della Giovecca in Ferrara with a facade made of terra-cotta and marble elements. The exterior displays pilasters, relief busts positioned above the windows, and geometric patterns that extend across the building at the corner where Via Boldini intersects.
The palace was built in 1508 under Guglielmo Magnanini, secretary to Duke Alfonso I d'Este. In the 18th century, the building passed to the Roverella family when Magnanini's descendant married into their household.
The palace displays Renaissance architectural elements with geometric patterns and decorative details across its exterior. Visitors can observe the craftsmanship in the pilasters and friezes that reflect the design standards of that era.
The palace is located in a central area of Ferrara across from the Church of Teatini and near several transport connections. Visitors can easily reach the building and view it from the street, as it sits in an active neighborhood with many local shops and services.
When Via Boldini was created in 1933, a section beside the palace was marked for removal to make room for the new street. The 1931 urban plan had anticipated this significant change to the area's layout.
