This noble palace, arranged over three levels, is characterised by a portico consisting of four bays with cross vaults, with the only entrance located on Via delle Tovaglie.

The building entrance is embellished by a pointed-arch portal, decorated with a finely worked sandstone architrave, giving the palace its distinctive appearance.

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

Major structural works are currently underway, including seismic upgrading, adaptation of the load-bearing masonry, consolidation of the existing floor slabs, 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 humidity treatments are also planned, together with external and internal bio-lime plaster, Venetian-style portico paving, terracotta-strip paving in 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 centre, just a short distance from the Basilica of San Domenico and 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 included in the FAI register of protected heritage sites. 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.

Here, the distinguished humanist lived with his family and hosted important writers and artists, including the celebrated painter Carlo Cignani (Bologna, 1628–1719), as recalled by the plaque affixed beneath the building’s portico.
