A defining feature of the property is the shared courtyard for exclusive use, providing valuable outdoor space.

This noble residence, arranged over three levels, features a portico consisting of four bays with groin vaults, incorporating the only entrance on Via delle Tovaglie.

The building entrance is enhanced by a pointed-arch portal, decorated with a finely worked sandstone archivolt, giving the residence its distinctive appearance.

Inside are a large courtyard and a small cloister, attributable to the former convent complex.

Major structural works are currently underway, including seismic upgrading, adaptation of the load-bearing walls, consolidation of the existing floor structures, construction of new intermediate floors and a timber roof, as well as energy-efficiency improvements (energy class A/B).

Acoustic insulation, chemical damp-proof barriers and anti-humidity treatments are also planned, together with external and internal bio-lime plastering, Venetian-style paving for the portico, terracotta-strip paving for the inner courtyard, and marble flooring in the entrance hall, stairwell and landings.

The window frames will be made of highly insulating wood.

Located in Bologna’s historic city centre, a short distance from the Basilica of San Domenico and just steps from the pedestrian area of Via D’Azeglio, Casa Martelli offers a unique opportunity to live and work in a property steeped in history and convenient to all services.

The building dates back to the 15th century and is listed among the properties protected by FAI. Originally an ancient convent, it was converted into a private residence by the Arcadian poet and playwright Pier Jacopo Martelli (or Martello) between the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

The renowned humanist lived here with his family and hosted important writers and artists, including the celebrated painter Carlo Cignani (Bologna, 1628–1719), as recorded on the plaque affixed beneath the building’s portico.
