Pepoli Campogrande’s Palace
Pepoli Campogrande’s palace, known also as New Pepoli’s Palace, is a Baroque style building based in via Castiglione 7 in Bologna’s city center.
In front of the street, we can find the Old Pepoli’s palace in medieval style, the new city’s museum of history.
The palace was built in the half of XVII’s century, based on the project of Francesco Albertoni and Giuseppe Antonio Torri, commissioned by earl Odoardo Pepoli and the Pepoli’s aristocratic family. In the 70’s, a part of the aristocratic floor, was donated to the city to realize a museum for the national gallery painting’s colletion of Zambeccari.
The entrance has a monumental staircase that conduce to another aristocrat floor with frescoed areas. The staircase’s ceiling has two ovals made of stuccoes and painted by Domenico Maria Canuti, that represents the assignment to Taddeo Pepoli as the senator of Bologna and as apostolic vicar of the pope.
