Palazzo Tozzoni, House museum in Imola, Italy

Palazzo Tozzoni is a house museum in Imola displaying 18th-century architecture across multiple floors filled with period furniture, paintings, and decorative objects. The rooms remain in their original arrangement, showing how wealthy families furnished and used their homes.

The Tozzoni family moved from Tuscany to Imola in the late 15th century and lived in two adjoining houses on what is now Via Garibaldi. From 1726 the architect Domenico Trifogli unified them into a single palace, completed in 1738. In 1978 Sofia Serristori Tozzoni, the last family member to live there, donated it to the city with all its furnishings; it opened as a house museum in 1981.

The palace preserves the Tozzoni family's memory, including a life-size mannequin of Orsola Bandini Tozzoni, dressed in her own clothes and hair, commissioned by her husband Giorgio Barbato after her death in 1836. The library, created by Count Giorgio Barbato Tozzoni (1781–1873), holds texts on history, numismatics, agriculture and literature, plus some 16th-century editions. The archive contains documents from the late 15th century to the 1970s.

The visit runs from the ground floor to the piano nobile, linked by the staircase decorated with sculptures by Francesco Janssens. The library and the family archive, with documents from the late 15th century to the 1970s, are on the ground floor. Allow time for the three apartments: Barocchetto, Impero and Veranda.

In the archive room stands a life-size mannequin of Orsola Bandini Tozzoni, dressed in her real clothes and fitted with her own hair. Her husband Giorgio Barbato had it made after her death in 1836; it was restored in 2016.
