Sarcinelli palace, Renaissance palace in Conegliano, Italy.
Sarcinelli Palace is a Renaissance building in Conegliano with symmetrical proportions and classical elements such as columns and arched windows. The stone facade displays the elegant formal language typical of this architectural period.
The palace was built during the Renaissance and represents the shift from medieval fortified dwellings to classically inspired residences. This development reflects the cultural change happening across Italy during this important period.
The palace's name comes from the Sarcinelli family of Ceneda, whose branch head Antonio Sarcinelli had it built in 1518. In its most splendid centuries the family received guests here such as Bona Sforza in 1556 and Maximilian III of Austria and Henry III of France in 1574. Since 1988 the building has housed the city's modern and contemporary art gallery, founded under Marco Goldin, who directed it until 2002.
The palace stands on Contrada Granda (via XX Settembre) in Conegliano's historic centre, so it is reached on foot through the old streets. It was restored in 2008–2009 and now serves as the city art gallery, hosting temporary exhibitions rather than a fixed collection. Check the current exhibition before planning a visit.
The palace hosted Bona Sforza in 1556 and both Maximilian III of Austria and Henry III of France in 1574. Inside, some halls are decorated with stuccoes and bas-reliefs. Since 1988 it has housed the municipal modern and contemporary art gallery, founded under Marco Goldin, who directed it until 2002.
