History of the palace

The initial structure was constructed in the Middle Ages, but it gained importance after being restored and renewed by the Fava family, who took custody of it in 1546. Its possession changed hands after the decimation of the Fava family and went to the Medicis and then to the Baglioni. Finally, in 2005, the Cassa di Risparmio Foundation in Bologna bought the palace. Today, it is officially known as Palazzo delle Esposizioni.
