Palazzo Malvinni-Malvezzi, Ducal palace in Piazza Duomo, Matera, Italy

The palace extends across three floors with a Baroque facade featuring three decorated windows, balconies, and a central entrance portal.

The Malvinni family, who received the title of Dukes of Santa Candida in 1734, inhabited this residence from the 15th century until the 1960s.

The noble floor contains fourteen mythological canvas paintings above the doors, similar to those found in Palazzo Bernardini.

The Provincial Administration of Matera manages the palace, which opened to visitors for art exhibitions displaying its interior paintings.

In 1860, Count Francesco Gattini attempted to escape a public uprising by jumping into the palace's hayloft, resulting in leg fractures.
