Palazzo Cavina, 18th century palace in Faenza, Italy.
Palazzo Cavina is a palace from the 18th century in Faenza, distinguished by a stone portal made of Istrian stone and a balcony with an iron railing displaying the Naldi family crest. The building shows classical architectural features typical of the period on its main facade.
Architect Raffaele Campidori designed the palace around 1740 for the Naldi counts, who were its first inhabitants. Countess Lucrezia Costa later purchased the building in 1814, bringing it under new ownership.
The palace contains rooms decorated by Felice Giani starting in 1816, complemented by wall paintings that the brothers Romolo and Antonio Liverani added later in that century. These artworks reflect different artistic phases within the building's interior.
The building stands at Via Castellani 22 in Faenza and serves as a residential property today. Visitors should note that it is an active residence and can only be viewed from outside.
The building once housed an extensive weapons collection displayed in its ballroom, which was later relocated to Palazzo Milzetti. This historical collection shows how the use of such spaces changed fundamentally over time.
