Scala della Ragione, 1447
Palazzo della Ragione
Cortile del Mercato Vecchio
Verona, May 2025
“The Scala della Ragione is a fifteenth-century work that is part of the monumental complex of the Palazzo della Ragione in Verona. The structure connects the courtyard of the Mercato Vecchio with the large portal that gives access to the main floor of the palace. In 1446 the City Council decided to create a vertical connection in the large space of the courtyard of the Palazzo della Ragione to allow easy access to the main floor, which at the same time could communicate, through its architecture, the institutional prestige that the complex had in the Verona of the time. The following year, the Scala della Ragione was built in the corner of the courtyard near the Lamberti tower, completely in red Verona marble.” (Scala della Ragione, Wikipedia)
