Located on Via San Felice in Bologna, the Palazzo Pallavicini is a sprawling 15th-century palace. It extends to Via del Pratello and Via de'Coltellini, standing as a significant historic building in the region of Emilia Romagna.
The palace has belonged to many families over the centuries, including the Vila, Volta, Marsili, and Alamandini, before it was purchased by Gian Luca Pallavicini in 1765. Its interior features a baroque staircase designed circa 1690 by Luigi Casoli and a grand salon frescoed in 1690 by Giovanni Antonio Burrini. Further decorations were commissioned between 1789 and 1792 by Giuseppe Pallavicini, featuring stuccoes by Giacomo Rossi.
On March 26, 1770, a young Amadeus Mozart performed in the palace's Sala della Musica. Visitors today can explore the palace's historical layout, which includes the reconstruction of the east part of the facade in 1788 based on designs by Alessandro Amadesi.
