Palazzo Mincuzzi, Commercial building in Murat district, Bari, Italy

Palazzo Mincuzzi is a commercial building on via Sparano da Bari, 98, in Bari, built between 1926 and 1928. Its facade mixes columns, rusticated pilasters, Ionic capitals and mascheroni among many windows. The corner front rises to a drum topped by a triangular pediment, a ribbed dome with circular oculi, a lantern and a gilded cast-iron sphere.

The structure was designed between 1926 and 1928 by architect Aldo Forcignanò and engineer Gaetano Palmiotto as a department store for the Mincuzzi family. It emerged during a period when Bari was expanding its modern districts and establishing new commercial spaces for retail growth.
