The Palazzo della Pilotta is a complex of edifices located between Piazzale della Pace and the Lungoparma in the historical centre of Parma, region of Emilia Romagna, Italy. Its name derives from the game of pelota played at one time by Spanish soldiers stationed in Parma. ==History== Built around 1583, during the last years of reign of Duke Ottavio Farnese, it developed around the corridor (''Corridore'') which connected the keep (''Rocchetta'', traces of which can be seen next the river Parma) to the Ducal Palace: the latter, begun in 1622 under Duke Ranuccio I, was never completed. the façade on the ''Piazza della Ghiaia'' is missing and the annexed Dominican church of St. Peter was demolished only in recent times. The existing complex includes three courts: the ''Cortile di San Pietro Martire'' (now best known as ''Cortile della Pilotta''), ''Cortile del Guazzatoio'' (originally ''della pelota'') and the ''Cortile della Racchetta''. The Pilotta was to house a large hall, later turned into the Teatro Farnese, the stables and the grooms' residences, the Academy Hall and other rooms. After the end of the Farnese family rule of Parma, much of the movable assets of the palace were removed by then Duke Charles I, later King of Spain, and taken to Naples in the 1730s. The Biblioteca Palatina was established here by 1769. By 2015, the building spaces had be taken up by a number of cultural institutions and museums, including in addition to the library: *National Archaeological Museum *Scuola d'arte Toschi *Museo Bodoniano (en:Bodoni Museum) 〔 〕 *Teatro Farnese *Galleria Nazionale di Parma 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 della Pilotta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
