Four Room Second Floor Apartment On Via Delle Tovaglie – Casa Martelli – A8

Apartment on the second floor, forming part of the renovation of the entire Palazzo Martelli.

The entrance leads to the living area with an open-plan kitchen and double exposure onto the inner courtyard. The sleeping area comprises two single bedrooms, a bathroom, a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and a room used as a laundry.

The property is completed by a 13.3 sq m cellar.

Completion expected from the end of October 2027.

This noble palace, arranged over three levels, features a portico comprising 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 archivolt, giving the palace its distinctive appearance.

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

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

Acoustic insulation, chemical damp-proof barriers and moisture treatments are also planned, together with external and internal bio-lime plaster, 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 centre, just a short distance from the Basilica of San Domenico and steps from the pedestrianised 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 amenities.

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 distinguished humanist lived here 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.
