Palazzo Martini, Noble palace in Mezzocorona, Italy
Palazzo Martini is a multi-storey building from the second half of the 17th century, with stone-framed windows and frescoes showing the Holy Family and, above the entrance, the Vescovi coat of arms. A house chapel occupies the upper floor, and the rooms hold decorative frescoes, ceiling paintings, wood panelling, furniture and tiled stoves from the 18th to 20th centuries. Outbuildings and a garden surround the main house.
This residence was built in the second half of the 1600s by the De Vescovi family. Ownership passed to the Martini Counts following Teresa De Vescovi's marriage to Carlo Martini in 1714.
The Vescovi coat of arms appears in several places on the building, most notably above the main portal. The Martini family, who took over the property in 1714, were raised to the rank of imperial counts in Munich on 24 September 1790 by Elector Karl Theodor of Bavaria. Since 2003 the palazzo has belonged to the Cassa di Risparmio di Mezzocorona and is used only for special occasions.
The palazzo stands in Mezzocorona in the Trentino. Since the count's family sold it to the Cassa di Risparmio di Mezzocorona in 2003, it has been used only for special occasions, so the interior is not regularly open to visitors.
