Palazzo del Collegio Puteano

Palazzo del Collegio Puteano, Renaissance palace in Piazza dei Cavalieri, Pisa, Italy.

Palazzo del Collegio Puteano lines the western edge of Piazza dei Cavalieri with a facade decorated with allegorical frescoes by Giovanni Stefano Marucelli. The structure combines architectural elements from different periods, creating a cohesive building that faces the historic square.

The palace took its present form between 1594 and 1598, when three older houses were joined; an English source gives 1549 as the start. In 1605 Archbishop Carlo Antonio Dal Pozzo, from Biella, granted it in perpetual rent to the Knights of St Stephen to house Piedmontese students of the University of Pisa, and the name Puteano derives from him. The college closed in 1925 for lack of income and reopened in 1930 as a student residence of the Scuola Normale Superiore, under an agreement signed by Giovanni Gentile and Cardinal Maffi.

The name Puteano comes from Archbishop Carlo Antonio Dal Pozzo of Biella, who in 1605 had the palace let to the Knights of St Stephen as a college for Piedmontese students of the University of Pisa. Since 2001 it has housed the Ennio De Giorgi mathematics research centre and the Scuola Normale Superiore guesthouse.

The building sits on Piazza dei Cavalieri in Pisa's historic center and is easily reached from surrounding streets. The location places it in an accessible part of the city where you can visit while exploring other nearby sights.

The name comes from Piedmontese students who once lodged there, marking its role in educational exchange across different Italian regions. This connection to student mobility is often overlooked by visitors exploring the site.
