Palazzo delle Colonne di marmo, Baroque palace in Livorno, Italy.

Palazzo delle Colonne di marmo is a baroque residence in Livorno with a symmetrical facade defined by skillfully carved marble columns. Ornamental details and decorative elements run across the entire exterior, showcasing the craftsmanship of the early 18th century.

Around 1703 the Lucchese merchant Ottavio Gamberini bought a plot stretching from today's Via Borra to the Fosso della Venezia and had a palace built there; its design is attributed, with some uncertainty, to Giovan Battista Foggini. The works were finished quickly, but in the following decades the building was altered and a floor was added. Owned by the Bicchierai family from 1718, it was sold in 1912 to the Monte di pietà.

The palace shows how wealthy merchants displayed their power through lavish marble decoration and architectural grandeur. The carefully crafted columns and ornamental details reflect the high standards the local elite set for beauty and craftsmanship.

The palace sits in central Livorno and is easy to reach on foot from the harbor and other historic buildings. Visitors can admire the facade from the street at any time, making it a convenient stop during walks through the historic center.

The marble columns at the portal are Tuscan order, and their bases and capitals are set at a slight angle, turning the entrance toward the public street. Inside, the courtyard switches from marble to grey pietra serena, a detail linking the building to 16th-century Florentine residences.
