Palazzo Urbani-Acuti<\/strong>, also called Palazzo Cruciani, is in Via Garibaldi and was one Spello\u2019s main private buildings. It was built around 1602 by the noble family from Spello, the Urbani-Acuti<\/em>, who expanding the buildings that stood behind, and it was the residence of patrician families for centuries: in 1620 it passed into the hands of the Monaldis, in 1718 to the Grillo-Pamphili and finally to the Cruciani in 1769. In 1940 it was sold to the nearby Collegio Vitale Rosi and then became the property of the Municipality.<\/p>\n

Palazzo Cruciani underwent several modifications linked to the architectural tastes of the noble families who lived there; it now has four floors and is clearly Baroque in style<\/strong>. The complex structure revolves around the courtyard, made more airy by the large windows in the eastern wing and has a period well decorated with masks as well as the heraldic emblem placed on it by the Urbani-Acuti. The covered wooden balcony, extending to the left of the courtyard, is very elegant and affords magnificent views.<\/p>\n

Inside, the ground floor is decorated with 17th<\/sup>-century allegories frescoed on the barrel vault ceiling, by an unknown author and dated 1602, as well as decorations on the stairs and the piano nobile<\/em>. The main room is the Sala delle Quattro Stagioni<\/strong>, on the first floor, where meetings of the municipal council are held. The Four Seasons are depicted on the ceiling, while on the walls, the initials of the client Giovanni Cruciani<\/em>, the date of execution of the paintings (1890) and the signature of the artist Gaetano Pompei of Amendola<\/em> are interspersed by motifs depicting candelabras.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
