Palazzo Bernardini, Renaissance palace in Piazza Bernardini, Lucca, Italy

The ground floor features rusticated stone walls with Doric pilasters, while the upper level displays detailed mullioned windows with wooden shutters.

Martino Bernardini, a merchant from Lucca, commissioned the construction of the central section between 1517 and 1523, with later wings added in the 1700s.

The interior spaces demonstrate Renaissance architectural elements through richly decorated coffered ceilings and ornate doorframes adorned with Moorish head knockers.

The palace currently functions as the headquarters of the Associazione Industriali and stands as a central landmark in Lucca's historic district.

An irregularly shaped stone above a window, known as Pietra del Diavolo, remains curved despite multiple attempts to straighten it using iron structures.
