Palazzo Baldassini, Pesaro


The Palazzo Baldassini is a Renaissance-style palace located on Via San Francesco d'Assisi in the city of Pesaro, region of the Marche, Italy. The palace was built in the second half of the 16th century for the Marchese Ranieri Del Monte. The design has been attributed to either Filippo Testi or Guidubaldo Del Monte. Soon after completion, the palace was acquired by Marcantonio Gozze. In 1715, his daughter Chiara Gozze married marchese Francesco Maria Baldassini. The facade remains incomplete in brick, but the 16th-century main portal

estate, the Villa Farnese. In addition to the Farnese family, Sangallo had a number of patrons in Rome. He designed the Palazzo Baldassini near the Basilica of Sant'Agostino for Melchiore Baldassini; he designed a tomb for the Cardinal Jaume Serra i Cau in San Giacomo degli Spagnoli. Sangallo was also one of several artists hired to design the Villa Madama by Cardinal Giulio de' Medici, the future Clement VII; he was personally responsible for the final design of the building itself. Through these projects, Sangallo acquired the reputation of

Perino was soon regarded as his major assistant, second only to Giulio Romano. To Raphael himself he was always exceedingly attentive. His solo works in the city include the hall of Palazzo Baldassini (1520–1522), a noble building in the center of the city, and the "Pietà" in the church of Santo Stefano del Cacco. After Raphael

Palazzo Contarini Dal Zaffo


Palazzo Contarini Dal Zaffo, also known as "Palazzo Contarini Polignac" is a large palace in Venice, located in the Dorsoduro district, overlooking the Grand Canal, in an intermediate position between Palazzo Brandolin Rota and Palazzo Balbi Valier. The palazzo was probably built in the second half of the fifteenth century. The architect of the palazzo is unknown, but the design is frequently attributed to Giovanni Buora, Mauro Codussi, or Pietro Lombardo. The architect was most likely inspired by the Lombard architectural style. Together with Palazzo Dario the

back of the palazzo, overlooking the column of Trajan, was entrusted to the architects Filippo Navone and Giovanni Battista Benedetti. Between 1861 and 1865 Vincenzo's son Gioacchino Valentini commissioned two further expansions on the left side, along via di Sant'Eufemia, designed by the architect Luigi Gabet. The provincial deputation of Rome acquired the palazzo as their base in 1873, commissioning the architect Gabet to complete the right side on via de’ Fornari, at the top of vicolo di San Bernardo. The present structure of the palazzo is characterised by

While like many of the other larger palazzi in Venice the Palazzo Labia is rectangular in design built around an inner courtyard, the two architects Tremignon and Cominelli broke the architectural traditions of such architects as Longhena, by designing the facades of the Palazzo Labia to be more simple and less cluttered, than those of the earlier Venetian classical palazzi, while still

—a style little changed since the late renaissance. Two little-known architects, Tremignon and Cominelli, were commissioned to design the palazzo. The selection of two comparatively unknown architects is strange, considering the desire of the Labia family to make an impression on Venetian society. However, the placement of the site more than compensated for any risk involved in the selection of unknown architects. The site chosen for the palazzo was the junction of the Cannaregio Canal and the Grand Canal in the parish of San Geremia, in fact the

Agostino and was joined to the Palazzo Apollinare by an archway above the street. Following construction on the nearby palazzo of San Luigi dei Francesi, another section of the palazzo was demolished. This allowed for a new design and consequent expansion of the building with the new façade on Via della Scrofa. This was done in 1776 under the direction of the Roman architects Pietro Camporese il Vecchio (

Renaissance art historian Giorgio Vasari testified of the existence of a project by Palladio for the Palazzo Pretorio at Cividale, for which he executed a model; he also wrote that the architect was present at the building’s foundation ceremony.

Besides obvious differences from the elder architect's style, Brunelleschi died 12 years before construction of the palazzo began. The design and fenestration suggest that the unknown architect was more experienced in utilitarian domestic architecture than in the humanist rules defined by Alberti in his book "De Re Aedificatoria". Though impressive, the original palazzo would have been no rival to the Florentine Medici residences in terms of

Rome's land-use plan of 1882 foresaw the demolition of Palazzo Alicorni. On the contrary, in 1888 the comune of Rome bought it, destining it to primary school. In 1928 the Governatorato of Rome asked architect Adolfo Pernier to restore the building, which for the holy year of 1925 had been painted in yellow.
