Less well known than other illustrious monumental buildings in Ferrara, Palazzo Naselli Crispi can be described as a Roman palace in the heart of an Emilian city. The building was commissioned by Canon Giuliano Naselli from Girolamo da Carpi and built between 1533 and 1537. Girolamo, a painter and architect, made many trips to Rome, gaining a deep knowledge of classical architecture, which he put “on stage” in this creation. After Naselli’s death, which occurred almost immediately, the palace had many owners until it came to the Reclamation Consortium in 1922, which made it its headquarters.
Damaged by the 2012 earthquake, the building underwent a massive restoration that will return it to the public in 2020 in all its compositional and decorative splendor, which is expressed from the architectural perfection of the courtyard to the fine decorations of its rooms.
