The History:

The ancient structure of the Palazzo dates back to middle ages, a time when the Cathars occupied the castle in Monforte d’Alba. The first mention is around 1020. An evidence of the original building is represented by the three Gothic arches on the front side.  The top floor of the building has always been open to the people and was used as a covered market.  In the 1700s, the town of Monforte d’Alba acquired the building and modified it, transforming the second floor into a prison.  At about the same time, a big bread oven was built on the ground floor, which became available to all households in the village and remained operational until 1963. Unfortunately, the oven could not be recovered during the reconstruction of the Palazzo, but Suite 4 was decorated in vivid colours in memory to numerous fires lit in the oven.  In 2012, the building was purchased and fully restored by the current owners.
