Palazzo Manganelli, Catania, Baroque palace in central Catania, Italy.
The palace exhibits ornate balconies supported by decorative brackets, featuring expressive faces carved into the stone architectural elements throughout the facade.
Following the devastating earthquake of 1693, architect Alonzo Di Benedetto constructed this residence for Antonio Paternò, the sixth Baron of Manganelli.
During the 1870s, Italian artists Giuseppe Sciuti and Ernesto Bellandi created extensive fresco decorations throughout the piano nobile of the palace.
The palace maintains dual functions as both a residence for the Borghese family descendants and a hotel establishment in the center of Catania.
The palace includes a split-level garden with fountains and a nymphaeum, hidden behind its main facade against the medieval city walls.
