Building from the 17th century

The Palazzo was built in the beginning of the 17th century by Gio Andrea Cicala. Four medieval houses had to be torn down for the project. The build, entrusted to architect Bartolomeo Rosso, started in 1618 and finished a year and a half later.

Donghi family was the owner until 1895

In the mid-17th century the Palazzo was sold to Gio Antonio Donghi, a wealthy paper producer. It stayed in the Donghi family until 1895, when it was bought by Antonio Gallino, who split the Palazzo up into apartments and sold it off from 1920.

Late 16th architecture

Local late 16th century architectural characteristics are easy to spot in the building. For example, the cubic volume, the two royal floors with the mezzanine, the atrium stairwell and the inner garden. In the garden you’ll find a gated fountain, made from a mosaic of rocks and shells sporting heraldic animals and decorative styles.

New design

The Palazzo Donghi, with reverence to the original architecture, has been turned into two beautiful luxury apartments and a Suite.
