Palazzo del Governo, Administrative palace in Benevento, Italy

The Palazzo del Governo occupies a 74 by 43 metre site on Corso Garibaldi, beside the Rocca dei Rettori, and has two inner courtyards. It rises three full storeys above a basement. Pietro Paolo Quaglia designed the Neo-Renaissance facade; Nicola Breglia added the central colonnaded projection and the wide scissor staircase leading to the first-floor vestibule.

The provincial delegation decided in late 1886 to build a seat for the new province of Benevento, created on 25 October 1860. Construction began on 20 November 1895 to a design by Pietro Paolo Quaglia, but was interrupted by his death in 1898 and that of his successor Raffaele Canevari in 1900. Work resumed in 1904 under Nicola Breglia and was completed in 1909; the palace was inaugurated on 25 October 1910, during the fiftieth-anniversary celebrations of Italian unification.

The building's name, Palazzo del Governo, refers to its role as the seat of the prefecture, a function it has held since the Fascist period. The basement, owned by the Province of Benevento, has housed the Museo Arcos since 2005, displaying contemporary art in a space once used for provincial offices.

The building is located in the central area and is easily accessible on foot. As an active administrative center, access to certain areas may be limited, so viewing the exterior is the best way to appreciate its architecture.

The palace's lower ground floor stayed with the Province of Benevento when the building passed to the Italian state in 2003; since 2005 it has housed the Museo Arcos, the Sannio contemporary art museum. The rest of the building remains the prefecture.
