Palazzo Vinci Gigliucci is a 17th-century historical residence located in the medieval centre of the city of Fermo, just 4 km from the Adriatic Sea.

The main ‘Piano Nobile’ floor, which is used for the celebration of civil weddings, and the entire ground floor of the Palazzo, including the Ancient Cellars, the Stables, the Kitchens, the Granary and the Inner Courtyards, lend themselves perfectly for the hosting of very special occasions. The apartments available for residence during your stay include ‘Le Stanze della Contessa’ (The Countess’s Rooms), ‘Il Passaggio Segreto’ (The Secret Passage) and ‘La Bottega di Giacomino’ (Giacomino’s Workshop). The representative first floor, which spans almost 1,000 square metres, is divided into two apartments named ‘Il Piano Noble’ and ‘L’Appartamento Canova’ and is a unique and evocative place to stay or hold special events.

The history of Palazzo Vinci Gigliucci
Palazzo Vinci-Gigliucci houses a truly ancient history within its walls. The initial nucleus was established in the 15th century when the parish priest of the adjacent Church of San Michele Arcangelo (1251 A.D.), the second most important church in the archdiocese after the Metropolitan Cathedral, decided to build a building where he could reside when exempt from his ecclesiastical duties.

In the fifteenth century, Don Marcantonio Gigliucci was appointed Prior of this sacred place, and a few years later, the aristocratic Gigliucci family acquired the ‘priest’s house’ next to the church, carrying out extensive restoration work and improving its architectural structure.

Later, at the beginning of the 1600s and following the marriage between two of the heirs of the Gigliucci and Vinci families, the Palazzo was adapted to the new residential needs of an important noble family. In the second half of the 19th century, it was further embellished by the skillful renovations carried out by renowned Fermo architect, Giovan Battista Carducci. Today, it remains one of the most preeminent aristocratic Palazzos in the region, both in terms of its architectural layout and its internal decorations. A considerable part of this splendid building, which represents a unique and unparalleled example of grandeur in Fermo, has been meticulously restored and transformed into luxurious apartments.
