Palazzo Geremia

Palazzo Geremia is a three-story Renaissance palace with an ornate facade decorated with four-light windows and extensive painted scenes. The exterior walls display historical episodes and moral teachings rendered in fresco across its surfaces.

The palace was built in the 15th and 16th centuries as a residence for the merchant Giovanni Antonio Pona. The Geremia family then occupied it for more than three centuries before it eventually became a public building.

The frescoed walls depict encounters between Emperor Maximilian I and local figures, alongside classical characters such as Marco Curzio and Lucretia. These painted stories speak to values and historical moments that shaped how people understood their city.

The building now serves as a municipal office and includes an elevator, accessible restrooms, and reserved parking nearby. Visitors can navigate the interior with basic accessibility features in place.

The structure actually comprises three distinct building sections separated by interior courtyards rather than being one unified mass. The main facade opens onto Via Belenzani while a service wing faces Via delle Orfane on the opposite side.
