Apartment for sale, via belle arti, in Bologna, Italy

Palazzo Bentivoglio - In what was originally called Borgo della Paglia stands this formidable architectural testimony commissioned in the mid-1500s by one of the most important families in Bolognese history and from which it takes its name. What we have the pleasure of admiring today at number 8 of the current Via Belle Arti is the façade of the building, which literally explodes with its solemn lines and on which we can see the heraldic symbols of the Bentivoglio family: the eagle and the flame. The male façade echoes the great Roman palaces of the Renaissance, such as Palazzo Farnese in Rome, but the most spectacular part of the building remains the spectacular courtyard with a double order of loggias, one of the richest in suggestive views and among the most monumental of the whole city. The upper loggia, whose decorative part remained unfinished, repeats the architectural design of the one below; the rough and picturesque appearance of the unfinished part does not affect the beauty of the organism, on the contrary it gives it a very particular charm. Within these walls we offer for sale a breathtaking residence, which does not disappoint the expectations of those who have the honor of accessing the upper part of the Palace. Each environment is unique and unrepeatable, embellished with timeless details. The reception area is large, with two sumptuous lounges both with fireplaces and an oval dining room of great charm. The kitchen, located next to the dining room, is an environment perfectly integrated into the style of the house, convivial, bright and complete with everything needed to serve important dinners. The living area is completed by a study, deliberately positioned off-centre next to the entrance, and a guest bathroom. In addition to the height of the ceilings, the size of the windows is surprising, designed to give precious natural light to the rooms, even in the less sunny months. The most intimate area of the property is composed of a master bedroom with dressing room and en suite bathroom and a bedroom on two levels: on the mezzanine part we find the bathroom, with sauna. The study and the first of the three living rooms have an enchanting view of the courtyard of the building, while the windows of the remaining rooms overlook the roofs of the historic center. The silence is absolute: once you enter the thick walls of this residence the "dirty" of the center seems like something distant, totally forgotten. It is a residence of great charm, reserved for those looking for a piece of history, perfectly preserved and ready to be lived in maximum comfort. The condominium lift is currently being approved by the Superintendence.
