Palazzo Vinci Gigliucci

Palazzo Vinci Gigliucci is located in Fermo, next to the main town square. Built in the seventeenth century following the coalition of two noble local families, the Vincis and the Gigliuccis, it was enriched by the skillful renovation of the famous architect Giovan Battista Carducci in the second half of the nineteenth century. It is one of the most important noble palaces of the region for both its architecture and décor. The palace is self-sufficient with a typical palatial layout: it has stables, cellars, storage rooms, large rooms used as kitchens and pantries and small work-shops for utility on both the ground and mezzanine floors. On the second floor there is the piano nobile, the rooms are richly decorated with frescoes based on drawings by the painters Luigi Fontana, Palmaroli and the master Luigi Cochetti. A large part of this outstanding building – a unique and unrepeatable example of beauty in the whole region – has been carefully restored and converted into luxury apartments. It is hard to find an example of restoration that encompasses so many different settings: old working areas and the piano nobile have been properly and coherently brought back to life: rustic rooms were finely restored, whilst the larger ones reveal a closer philological accuracy. Each wall, even those in the originally areas, shines by virtue of an accurate design: taste of symmetry and frontality predominate. Palazzo Vinci Gigliucci looks like a rediscovered jewel to be kept for the future and for every forthcoming guest.
