Palazzo Malvezzi Campeggi

Palazzo Malvezzi Campeggi
Italy, Bologna
The Renaissance building is located in the central part of Bologna, opposite the church of San Giacomo Maggiore. Currently, the Faculty of Law of the University of Bologna is located within the walls of the palazzo. The construction of the palace began in the middle of the 16th century, over an older building. The courtyard was decorated with three rows of columns - Doric, Ionic and Corinthian with medallions depicting the main Roman emperors. At the entrance was a large statue of Hercules. The Palazzo was owned by the aristocratic Malvezzi family, known since the 12th century, but advanced in the 15th century, during the reign of Bologna, by the noble Bentivoglio family. The mezzanine of the palazzo was painted with frescoes only in the 18th century. Some of the frescoes extol the military power of the Malvezzi family, including Emilio Malvezzi, who fought for the Polish King Sigismund II. In 1707, through the marriage of Matteo Malvezzi and Francesca Maria Campeggi, two aristocratic families united, which served as the name of the palazzo. During World War II, the courtyard of the building was damaged.

Built in the middle of the 16th century by the brothers Andrea and Giacomo Marquez of Formagin on the remains of an old building. The palace has a large courtyard with a double loggia of Doric columns and a small loggia with Ionic columns. The third floor is decorated with pilasters with Corinthian capitals and medallions of the main Roman generals above the windows. A massive sculpture of Hercules by Giuseppe Mazza adorns the entrance to the upper floors. The building was damaged during World War II and was sold to the city.
