Palazzo della Cassa di Risparmio di Pistoia e Pescia

The Palazzo della Cassa di Risparmio presents local stone materials and brick facades with classical proportions along Via Roma in central Pistoia.

Construction of the palace began in 1896 after demolishing medieval houses and the Church of San Matteo to establish a new headquarters for the savings bank.

The interior decorations feature contributions from notable artists including sculptor Augusto Rivalta and painter Achille Casanova, with Liberty style elements by Galileo Chini.

The palace stands at numbers 20-22 Via Roma, maintaining its original function as a bank while welcoming visitors to examine its architectural features.

The building incorporates a covered glass gallery that connects the nineteenth-century palace to the adjacent Commodities Exchange designed by Giovanni Michelucci.
