The tour lasted just under an hour. You are guided through many rooms and learn a lot about the history. The Count conducts the tour with a lot of charm.

This was a wonderful, engaging and enlightening experience! Our guide who is a family descendant was great at articulating his family’s history and aspects of his palace and he spoke with passion for his heritage. What an absolutely beautiful home! It is a must see!

A lively tour not only through the 400-year-old palazzo, but also through a part of the family history of the Counts Federico, who still live in the palazzo today.
