Palazzo Ercolani

Palazzo Hercolani, Palazzo Hercolani
Italy, Bologna
Palace (palazzo) Hercolani or Ercolani is a large palace in the historical center of Bologna. It currently houses the School of Political Science of the University of Bologna.
The palace was built in 1785 by the aristocrat Filippo Hercolani. The palazzo combines two styles. The façade has a neoclassical restraint, while the internal front staircase and interior decorations are late baroque or rococo. On the first floor there is a room with images of Homer, Pindar, Hesiod and Democritus. Two rooms are decorated in the chinoiserie style (the use of traditional Chinese art motifs in European architecture, painting, arts and crafts). Other rooms have decorations and paintings by Italian artists from the 18th and 19th century.

Palazzo Ercolani - a great wake-up call in the style of rococo or neoclassicism in the historical center of Bologna, the School of Political Science of the University of Bologna has been redistributed at once. The palace in a lowly appearance was inspired in 1785 by the aristocrat Filippo Yercolani; architect buv Angelo Venturioli. If you want the faç ade to retain the excesses of neoclassicism, go and decorate it in the middle with similar ornaments in the styles of the late baroque and rococo.
