Palazzo De Troia

Palazzo De Troia is a rectangular palazzo of three storeys, their construction probably not all of the same period. The street frontage, with its stone cladding at ground level and its first-floor portals and balconies, is attributed to a nineteenth-century remodelling. The second floor, however, retains its eighteenth-century windows and French doors, with linear frames and modillion cornices bearing floral friezes. The two entrance portals are each given a protiro, a small projecting porch, with fluted columns and stylised capitals supporting balconies on scrolled brackets; the arch is round-headed, defined by a moulded frame. The eastern portal leads into a narrow, deep courtyard, where the stables, service rooms, and the cellar (with its well) once stood, along with the porter’s lodging. The quoins are marked by pilasters with medallion decorations at ground and first floors, becoming fluted with Ionic capitals at the top. The projecting eaves cornice is elaborate, supported by brackets. The main salon had a painted and stuccoed ceiling; in another room, a painted ceiling featured a fresco roundel of a graceful female figure on white clouds, holding a bow in her left hand.
