Palazzo di Residenza della Cassa di Risparmio in Bologna

Palazzo di Residenza della Cassa di Risparmio in Bologna, Historic bank building in central Bologna, Italy.

The Palazzo della Cassa di Risparmio stands as an imposing neo-Renaissance structure with eclectic architectural elements, featuring polychrome marble facades, decorative iron porticoes, and grand interior spaces adorned with frescoes and period furnishings.

The palace was built between 1868 and 1873 to a design by Giuseppe Mengoni on the site of the Teatro Zagnoni, which was demolished along with other earlier buildings, some medieval, to make room for it, for the post office and for Piazza Minghetti. It has been altered several times since; the last major work, around 1950, roofed the inner courtyard to turn it into rooms for the bank's offices and receptions.

The building houses works by prominent Italian artists including Il Guercino, Donato Creti, and the Carracci family, while its decorated halls feature frescoes by Luigi Samoggia and furniture designed by Carlo Fraboni, representing Bologna's artistic heritage.

The palace stands at Via Farini 22, with its portico facing the street and Piazza Minghetti just behind; the entrance is on Via Farini. It is a working bank headquarters, so the halls and the covered courtyard lobby are seen by appointment or during public events rather than on a walk-in visit.

The palace stands on the site of the Teatro Zagnoni, demolished to make way for it. The inner courtyard was roofed over in 1955–1956, turning it into a large open lobby for the bank's offices and reception rooms. The cast-iron banisters of the staircase were designed by Davide Venturoli.
