The late Renaissance period was a time of grandeur and architectural marvels, as seen in the stunning buildings scattered across Italy. From the majestic Farnese Palace in Caprarola to the intricate details of Fra' Giovanni da Verona's inlaid lectern at Monte Oliveto Maggiore Abbey, each structure tells a unique story. In Palermo, the Normans Palace boasts a Maqueda courtyard adorned with triple order arches that create an enchanting portico. The central fountain in Pretoria Square adds a touch of elegance to this vibrant cityscape. Moving on to Rome, Palazzo Giraud-Torlonia stands tall with its impressive facade, while Palazzo Bandini Piccolomini captivates visitors with its rear facade. Both structures showcase the mastery of design during this era. Bernardo Buontalenti's drawings displayed at Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe in Florence reveal his vision for part of a building's facade and portal. These sketches demonstrate his innovative approach to architecture. Florence also houses Palazzo Portinari Salviati, which serves as Credito Toscano's headquarters. Its magnificent facade is a testament to the opulence and sophistication prevalent during this period. Further north in Turin lies Valentino Castle, whose imposing facade commands attention and evokes awe from all who behold it. Meanwhile, Pisa boasts Palazzo Upezzinghi or "Alla Giornata, " named after its motto inscribed above the doorway. Finally, back in Palermo stands another gem - Palazzo dei Normanni with its Maqueda courtyard featuring an exquisite tri-level arcaded gallery that showcases architectural brilliance at every turn. These late Renaissance buildings stand as testaments to human creativity and ingenuity during one of history's most influential periods. They continue to inspire awe and admiration even today.
