“Casa Signoretti is a historic aristocratic palace (palazzo) located in the heart of Reggio Emilia, Italy, at Via Emilio Casa Signoretti 4 (near Piazza Prampolini and the cathedral). Built in the late 18th century (around 1780–1790) in late-Baroque / early Neoclassical style. Commissioned by the noble Signoretti family, one of the oldest patrician families of Reggio Emilia. The façade is elegant but relatively sober; the real jewel is the interior, especially the grand staircase and the ballroom with magnificent frescoes and stucco work. The most famous artistic feature is the ballroom decorated around 1790–1800 by the Bolognese painter Gaetano Callani and his school, with neoclassical frescoes depicting mythological scenes and allegories.” (Casa Signoretti, Grok)
