This monumental palace was initiated by F.M. Angelini in 1725 under the orders of Cardinal Pompeo Aldrovandi. The façade however was created in 1744 by Alfonso Torregiani to whom the beautiful internal staircase is also attributed. The palace houses the Biblioteca Comunale, the film library and the Printing Circle; the walls of the rooms are adorned with magnificent frescoes, by Oralndi and Bigari that depict glorious events in the lives of the prestigious Aldrovendi family.
