Palazzo Cornazzani, Gothic palace in Pavia, Italy.
The palace features two distinct courtyards with octagonal granite columns and maintains numerous Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.
Built in the 15th century on earlier foundations, the palace transferred from the Beccaria family to the Cornazzani family through marriage in the 16th century.
The residence served as home to notable figures including poet Ugo Foscolo during his tenure as university professor, leading to its nickname Casa del Foscolo.
The building contains preserved coffered ceilings from the 15th century and displays Baroque frescoes across its interior spaces.
Albert Einstein lived in this palace between 1895 and 1896, where he wrote an essay about the investigation of ether in magnetic fields.
