The Palazzo D'Arco is a Neoclassical-style palace located on Piazza Carlo D'Arco #4 in Mantua, region of Lombardy, Italy. The palace houses the Museo di Palazzo d'Arco, which displays the furnishings and artwork collected by the Duke D'Arco. ==History== The site had once likely housed a royal palace in the 12th-century. The palace we see today is a reconstruction around a series of earlier buildings, with a long and complex history. The line ownership to the D'Arco family, can vaguely be linked to about 1625 when Count Annibale Chieppio. minister of the Duke of Mantua, bought and expanded the palace. By 1652, the palace had 63 rooms. When the Chieppio line died without male heirs, the palace passed in 1740 to a sister, Teresa married to Francesco Alberto d’Arco. Their son, Giovanni Battista Gherardo d’Arco, commissioned Antonio Colonna in 1783 to restore it in neoclassical style. The facade has elements that include the coat of arm of the D'Arco and Chieppio families, and also displays in the tympanum the Hapsburg double-headed eagle of the then Austrian rulers of Lombardy. In 1872 the building was enlarged further by Francesco Antonio d'Arco, buying by the neighboring Marquis Dalla Valle's palace. The palace was bombed during World War Two. Finally by the 1978, the will of the last member of the family, Signora Giovanna dei conti d’Arco Chieppio Ardizzoni, marchesa Guidi di Bagno endowed it to foundation to create a museum and retain the interior decor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Palazzo D'Arco, Mantua」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
