Palazzo Marescotti Brazzetti, Bologna, Renaissance palace in Bologna, Italy
The palace features an elegant Renaissance portico supported by Corinthian columns adorned with the Marescotti family coat of arms at their capitals.
Construction of the palace began in 1508 under architect Giovanni Beroaldo, following the destruction of the previous Marescotti residence during local political conflicts.
The palace's grand salon displays extensive frescoes created between 1687 and 1709 by artists Giovanni and Antonio Rolli, along with Giuseppe Antonio Caccioli.
The building now serves as part of the University of Bologna's Department of Music and Performance Arts, housing an extensive music and performing arts library.
The facade remains incomplete above the portico, revealing the interrupted construction process from the early 16th century.
