Casino Petitot, Neoclassical palace in Parma, Italy.
The Casino Petitot stands at Piazzale Risorgimento, featuring a flat roof, horizontal stripes on its facade, and two large marble vases by sculptor Jean-Baptiste Boudard.
French architect Ennemond Alexandre Petitot designed this palace in 1762 under Duke Filippo di Borbone's commission, marking its inauguration on June 24, 1766.
The palace originated as one of Italy's first cafes, establishing a new social venue where nobility, intellectuals, and upper-class citizens gathered outside private salons.
The building contains a central portal with two side windows, accessed by a short staircase, and maintains its original yellow color scheme characteristic of Parma.
A terrace at the rear of the structure indicates its former position on the city walls, which were demolished at the beginning of the 20th century.
