Palazzo Branconio, Renaissance palace in L'Aquila, Italy.
The Palazzo Branconio showcases classical Renaissance architecture with defined proportions, symmetrical design, and ornate stone decorations throughout its exterior facade.
Francesco Contini designed this palace during the Renaissance period, marking a period of architectural innovation in the region of L'Aquila.
The Branconio family maintained strong connections with artist Raphael, who painted The Visitation for their chapel in the nearby Church of San Silvestro.
