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

The building entrance features a pointed-arch portal decorated with a finely worked sandstone archivolt, giving the palace its distinctive appearance. Inside, there is a large courtyard and a small cloister attributable to the former convent complex.

Major structural works are underway, including seismic upgrading, adaptation of the load-bearing walls, consolidation of the existing floor structures, installation of new wooden floors and roof, and energy refurbishment (energy class A/B). Acoustic insulation, chemical barriers and anti-damp treatments are also planned, together with interior and exterior lime-based plasterwork, 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 within Bologna’s historic centre, a short distance from the Basilica of San Domenico and very close to the pedestrian area of Via D’Azeglio, Casa Martelli offers a unique opportunity to live and work in a property steeped in history, with all amenities conveniently nearby.

The property dates back to the 15th century and is listed among the assets protected by FAI. The building was originally an ancient convent before being converted into a private residence by the Arcadian poet and playwright Pier Jacopo Martello (or Martelli) between the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Here, the distinguished humanist lived with his family and met other important writers and artists, including the celebrated painter Carlo Cignani (Bologna, 1628–1719), as stated on the plaque affixed beneath the building’s portico.
