VERONA | CORSO CAVOUR

Palazzo Canossa

This is a well-known private palace in Verona and it is considered one of the town’s architectural masterpieces.

It was erected by commission of the Marquises of Canossa, one of the most ancient and prestigious families in Italy, to architect Michele Sanmicheli in 1527.

The palace, which is in Mannerist style, is located in the high class Corso Cavour Street, with an entrance shifted to the inside and preceded by a notable portico.

Taking into consideration its importance and architectural beauty, this palace has been used also to host the well-known Verona congress in 1822, in which almost all states of Europe took part to.

The Palace facade, facing Corso Cavour Street has been restored between 2010 and 2011 thanks to ONE’s support.
