The main construction material is clay-brick, the central avant-corps is made of travertine, which was also employed to decorate the upper part of the window frames. In the centre of the building there is a magnificent portal, framed with Doric columns that also serve as support for the balcony above it.<\/p>\n<p>Its construction was commissioned by <em>Giuseppe Antinori<\/em> in 1737 and it was designed by the architect <em>Francesco Bianchi<\/em>. The work was completed by the son of <em>Giuseppe<\/em>, <em>Girolamo<\/em>, who hired the architect <em>Pietro Carattoli<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The Antinori family lived in the Palace until 1855 and sold it to <em>Pietro Martinori<\/em>, who also then sold it to <em>Romeo Gallenga<\/em>. The latter moved in with his spouse <em>Mary Stuart Montgomery<\/em>. Each owner personalised the internal decorations, but without affecting the existing ones. During his ownership<em> Martinori \u2013 <\/em>who only bought the building for speculative purposes \u2013 commissioned to <em>Domenico Bruschi<\/em>, in 1862, a decoration that would celebrate the Unification of Italy also depicting the <em>Savoia<\/em> coat of arms and the Albertine Statue. Later, the <em>Gallenga<\/em> hired the artist <em>Matteo Tassi<\/em>, who painted the Ball Room drawing his inspiration from the audience room of Collegio del Cambio. This room is now called \u201c<em>Goldoni Room<\/em>\u201d in honour of the playwright whose father was the <em>Antinori<\/em>&#8216;s family doctor. Apparently the young writer was often to be seen in these rooms, on occasion performing as an actor.<\/p>\n<p>The interiors are finely decorated. On the first floor there is a series of busts of divinities and <em>rocaille <\/em>details, while on the second floor we find frescoes and canvases dated 1972 depicting landscapes and ruins. \u00a0The decorations in the rooms are the work of <em>Petro Carattoli<\/em> and develop from <em>Time<\/em>, with the old <em>Saturn and the hourglass<\/em>, continuing with the <em>Four Seasons<\/em>, up to the last room where the <em>Antinori<\/em> family&#8217;s coat of arms is depicted.<\/p>\n<p>More recent, but equally valuable, is a mural by <em>Gerardo Dottori \u2013 <\/em>one of the most important exponents of futurist aeropainting \u2013 called <em>La luce dell\u2019antica Madre<\/em> depicting <em>Aeneas<\/em> looking at builders doing masonry work on the Colosseum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Palazzo Antinori Gallenga Stuart, more commonly referred to as Palazzo Gallenga, is today home to the University for Foreigners of Perugia.
