Palazzo dei diamanti

The Palazzo dei Diamanti features a facade adorned with white marble blocks carved into diamond shapes, creating a multi-faceted appearance throughout the building.

The construction of the palace began in 1582 under the commission of the Cappella family, who gained prominence and became counts of Salizzole in 1573.

The structure served as the headquarters of the Accademia Filotima in 1585, reflecting the intellectual gatherings of Renaissance Verona during that period.

The palace now functions as the headquarters of AGEC, the municipal organization responsible for managing cultural venues across Verona.

The main entrance displays a grand portal with Doric columns and a split pediment, marking an early example of architectural elements later common in 18th-century design.
