History
editThe long three-story facade with 19 windows on Via Giordano shields three courtyards. The main portal surmounted with a balcony is gated with iron screen depicting a sun. The scenographic main staircase leads to a main floor with a large salon d'onore elegantly decorated with stuccoes and frescoes depicting the life of Alexander the Great.[1] The decoration of the ball room has been attributed to Adalberto Della Nave, Antonio Villa, and Giovanni Battista Ercole.[2]
