Padua, May 2025
"The Loggia del Consiglio, also known as the Loggia della Gran Guardia, is a Renaissance building overlooking Piazza dei Signori in Padua. It was built starting in 1491 as the seat of the Gran Consiglio. It was built on a project presented by Annibale Maggi and the construction was completed in 1536, according to some studies, under the direction of Giovanni Maria Falconetto. The upper hall was frescoed in 1667 by Pier Antonio Torri. During the Austrian domination it became the seat of the ‘Gran Guardia’, the military command of the city.” (Loggia del Consiglio, Wikipedia)
