Palmezzano House

Built in the 15th century on the remains of an ancient structure, it is without doubt one of the most striking examples of 15th-century architecture in Forlì; it belonged to the painter and architect Marco Palmezzano, who never lived there, and later to his heirs, the Palmeggiani. Of its original structure, the four squat columns of the portico remain, developed on a daring system of double suspended arches, decorated with a drop-shaped cap. The wooden framework, visible in the ceiling of the portico, is of great importance and, together with the facade, an example of a rare type of modular construction, traces the development of civil architecture in Forlì in the 15th century. The complexity of the structural solutions used is evidence of the intervention of a skilled master.

The ogival windows were removed in the 18th century.
