PETRUCCI PICCIONI PALACE
HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION
The fate of the noble palace of the Piccioni family is similar to other noble palaces in Acquapendente. Some of the most important palaces of the noble families who resided in Acquapendente rise on the current Piazza Girolamo fabrizi formerly Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, born in the heart of the city, already after the deforestation of the river valley area in the twelfth century. It is precisely here that many families wanted to build their stately palaces, to flaunt their rank, with real monuments for the city of Acquapendente. Palazzo Petrucci-Piccioni, located in front of the town hall, is characterized by the portal with a round arch, enclosed within strong ashlar pilasters and bears the name “TANCREDES PETRUTIUS” on the sides of the main ashlar.
