Sordi's Palace

Frans Geffels1680

Mantova Museo Urbano Diffuso

Mantova Museo Urbano Diffuso

With its majestic façade, Palazzo Sordi stands at 23 Via Pomponazzo. The bright colours, illuminated by an excellent restoration, bring out the size of the building - the product of the genius of the Flemish architect Frans Geffels (1625-1694). The façade is dominated by an additional, central floor, which corresponds to the reception room. The ashlar-work is alternated with smooth surfaces, while the doorway is adjoined to a marble balcony. Above this balcony, on the inside of a tympanum enriched by refined faux capitals, there is a tondo displaying a beautiful Madonna and Child, the hand of the stucco worker of the Val d'Intelvi, Gian Battista Barberini.
