Palace History

The Bortolazzi Palace belonged to a Venetian family involved in the silk industry. It was restored by the Lombard architects Apollonio, Pietro, and Bartolomeo Somalvico between 1678 and 1698. The building existed prior to the 15^th century and still retains its original structure along with its portal with Latin inscription dating from the late 15^th century. The balconies date from the Renaissance and the Palace's interior walls are decorated with 18^th century frescoes. The wood ceilings are covered with 16^th century painted personages of the period.
