Casa Stratti, Neoclassical palace in Piazza Unità d'Italia, Trieste, Italy

Casa Stratti is a neoclassical palace in Piazza Unità d'Italia with five stories and an ornately decorated main facade. The structure features fluted pilasters with Ionic capitals and floral decorative elements throughout.

Merchant Nicolò Stratti commissioned the palace in 1839 but sold it to Assicurazioni Generali in 1846 due to financial hardship. The insurance company has owned and maintained the building ever since.

The central sculptural group by Luigi Zandomeneghi shows a female figure representing Trieste alongside figures for Fortune and Progress. A model of a 19th-century locomotive is also part of this composition.

The main facade faces Piazza Unità d'Italia, while the simpler elevations open onto passo di Piazza and via del Teatro. The Caffè degli Specchi occupies the ground floor. Palazzo Modello, designed by Giuseppe Bruni in 1871, stands against the fourth side. The sculptural group and the four statues between the windows of the raised side sections are best seen from the square.

Inside the palace are two bas-reliefs by Antonio Canova: the tragic Death of Priam by Neoptolemus, son of Achilles, set against the joyful Dance of the Sons of Alcinous. The sculptures are rarely mentioned in accounts of the building.
