Apartment on the first floor, served by an elevator, forming part of the renovation of the entire Palazzo Martelli.

This three-room apartment comprises an entrance hall, a large living area with open-plan kitchen, a bathroom serving the living area, a single bedroom/study, and a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom.

Views over the internal courtyard ensure privacy and a secluded, striking outlook.

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

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

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

Major structural works are underway, including seismic upgrading, adaptation of the load-bearing walls, consolidation of the existing floor slabs, construction of new floor slabs and a wooden roof, as well as energy-efficiency improvements (A/B rating).

Acoustic insulation, chemical damp-proof barriers and anti-moisture treatments are also planned, together with external and internal lime-based biocalce plaster, Venetian-style portico flooring, terracotta-strip flooring in the internal 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, 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 included 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.

Here, the distinguished humanist lived 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.
