Palazzo Ferniani

Palazzo Ferniani, 18th-century palace in Faenza, Italy.

Palazzo Ferniani is an 18th-century palace in Faenza featuring a grand entrance with a balcony topped by wrought iron railings displaying the family coat of arms. The building now houses private residences and offices within its classical structure.

The Ferniani counts built the palace around the mid-18th century as an extension of the adjoining older building, to plans by the Faentine Gian Battista Boschi with the Bolognese Alfonso Torreggiani assisting. In 1717 Gaspare III Ferniani hosted the exiled James III Stuart and his court, and in 1779 Duke Ferdinand I of Parma visited. In 1960 the family's furniture and art were auctioned here.

The private chapel inside shows crafted details like inlaid wood and stucco work that reveal the family's taste and devotion. These rooms suggest how the residence served as a center for both personal prayer and social gatherings.

The palace can be viewed from outside at the corner of Via Naviglio and Via Campidori, where its facade is most visible. Since it houses private residences and offices, visitors can only appreciate the exterior architecture.

The downspouts on the facade end in eagle-shaped terminals, a second reference to the family coat of arms after the balcony railing. The crest itself shows an eagle above the sea beneath a comital crown. The marble statue of the Immaculate Conception at the corner is by the Bolognese sculptors Ottavio and Nicola Toselli.
