Palazzo Isolani, Renaissance palazzo in Santo Stefano, Bologna, Italy.
Palazzo Isolani is a Renaissance building in Bologna with a three-story facade supported by five arches and rectangular windows topped with curved ornaments. The interior courtyard from the 1500s features a spiral staircase that remains intact from that period.
The building received its current appearance in 1708 when Count Alamanno Isolani commissioned architect Giuseppe Antonio Torri to redesign it. This renovation shaped the structure as it stands today.
The ground floor displays frescoes by Francesco Stagno and Giuseppe Valliani alongside family portraits and a painting of King Joachim Murat of Naples. These works reflect the artistic decoration that distinguished the homes of wealthy families.
The building hosts weddings, business meetings, coworking spaces, and film shoots using its decorated reception areas and halls. Visitors should know that rooms are primarily reserved for these types of events.
The private garden contains an original marble fountain that has remained in place for centuries. Also noteworthy is the chapel dating to the 1400s that still exists within the property today.
