Renovation Palazzo Gradari
Built starting in 1599 to a design by architect Guidubaldo Del Monte, the palace was the prestigious residence of Giulio Cesare Mamiani Della Rovere, who was granted the Rovere surname by Duke Francesco Maria II, of whom he was both advisor and friend. Upon Mamiani’s death, the wing along Via Rossini—corresponding to the present-day building—passed to his son Francesco Maria.
Over time, the palace changed ownership among several noble families: the Medici in 1693; the Gavardini in 1698, to whom the most significant transformations of the architectural complex are attributed; the Reggiani in 1852, who placed their coat of arms on the Renaissance portal; and finally the Gradari family, who transferred the property to the Municipality in 1940. The main courtyard, preceded by a large atrium, is bordered on two sides by a double order of loggias and is connected to a smaller inner courtyard. On the first floor, a sequence of rooms unfolds, featuring richly decorated vaulted ceilings.
