Palazzo Cavriani

Palazzo Cavriani is a neoclassical building in central Mantua featuring a central courtyard that connects its main spaces. Inside, reception rooms and bedrooms display restored frescoes, original stucco details, and vaulted ceilings throughout.

The building was first constructed in the 16th century and later transformed by the Cavriani family during the 18th century. This renovation followed designs by architect Alfonso Torreggiani and gave the palazzo its current neoclassical style.

The garden here displays busts of notable Mantuan figures from the Renaissance period. These sculptures reflect how the city honored its important citizens and thinkers.

The building offers lodging options for visitors looking to stay overnight in a historic setting. Each suite is designed to accommodate small groups comfortably within the restored spaces.

An underground passage designed by Giuseppe Jappelli connects this palazzo to a neighboring garden without crossing the street. This hidden tunnel reveals how wealthy families linked their properties in creative ways.
