Palazzo Di Re-Monaco

Palazzo Di Re-Monaco is a palazzo of pleasingly plain intentions. Its L-shaped plan rises three floors above ground, the masonry rendered in plaster, the roof tiled in the traditional coppi. The eaves are modest, barely projecting. The façade is notably symmetrical about the main entrance, and avoids any architectural flourish. At ground level, three stone portals break the restraint: a central, round-arched doorway with a keystone carved in low relief with an acanthus leaf, flanked by two lower, segmental-arched entrances to a shop. Original wooden fixtures remain, and the balconies have wrought-iron railings. A dado of squared stone runs along the base. Beneath the dwelling, there is a workshop. It is the sort of building that speaks not of grand ambition, but of solid, practical town-house making, where the only ornament is a single, well-placed leaf.
