Casa del mercante Boniforte da Concorrezzo, Renaissance palace in Piazza delle Erbe, Mantua, Italy

The three-story palace features a terracotta facade with Gothic motifs and a portico supported by red Veronese marble columns.

Giovanni Boniforte da Concorezzo, a textile merchant from Brianza, commissioned this residence in 1455 during the reign of Ludovico III Gonzaga.

The architectural elements incorporate Venetian influences with oriental patterns, representing the intersection of trade routes and artistic styles in Renaissance Italy.

The building stands near major landmarks of Mantua, including the Ducal Palace and Basilica of Sant Andrea, making it accessible for city exploration.

Small gilded leaves originally decorated the facade, while Latin inscriptions on the portico architraves document the exact year of construction.
