About
The Palazzo Monaldeschi, known also as Palazzo Sforza Monaldeschi della Cervara or as Palazzo Marsciano or Meoni or, is a Renaissance architecture, aristocratic palace located on Piazza Ippolito Scalza in the historic center of Orvieto in the Region of Umbria, Italy. It is located about a block north of the church of San Francesco on Via Beato Angelico #52, corner with Via di Maurizio.
The prominent Monaldeschi family has various palaces in Central Italy, and exerted significant power in medieval Orvieto. Putatively Simone Mosca designed a palace circa 1570 for the Counts della Cervara, likely including this palace commissioned by Sforza Monaldeschi della Cervara. The palaces was enlarged (1574-1575) after the reign of Pope Pius IV by Ippolito Scalza, who designed ten windows for the facade (1572) as well as some internal refurbishments. The Salone della Camminata was frescoed by Cesare Nebbia or a team under his guidance including Cesare and Vincenzo Conti, Giovanni Battista Lombardelli, and Angelo Righi.
