Palazzo Cimorelli

This is a palazzo of the unshowy, practical sort. It rises on two floors above a ground level partly given over to service rooms, its rectangular plan neat and unpretentious. The masonry is rubble, set in the old a sacco manner and plastered over; a double-pitched roof wears the familiar Marseille tiles that became common in Italian building from the late nineteenth century. Inside, the space is divided into two dwellings. There is no grand gesture here, no flourish of a famous architect’s hand. Instead, the building speaks of a steady, workmanlike tradition, the kind of solid, symmetrical townhouse that once housed merchants or modest gentry, its proportions dictated by function rather than fashion. One might pass it without a second glance, but that is precisely the point: not every palazzo was built for show.
