Palazzo del Podestà

From late 2012 to late 2013 the first part of the project was carried out. Subsequent works were divided into two different phases, which would have restored splendour and functionality to the buildings. Everything was then organized to create a harmonic relationship with the initiatives for Mantua Capital of Italian Culture, which the city was awarded in 2016. Guided tours allow visitors to admire the monuments In particular, Palazzo del Podestà is an imposing building on eight floors, covering thousands of square meters, with more than two hundred rooms. Already the first consolidation works have uncovered remarkable frescoes from different eras. The maze of rooms, however, make it very difficult to establish what the main use the building should be. In addition, any intervention must absolutely respect the extraordinary stratification of the rooms, which have undergone continuous renovation over the centuries, until recent years.
