The inside of the present Castellani di Sermeti Palace (palazzo Castellani di Sermeti) has a series of building stratifications which date back to the late Middle Ages. The valuable intervention of the late Sixteenth Century, commissioned by the former owner Teodosio Dondonini, is clearly legible still nowadays. Some parts of Renassaince frescoes, come out during the last restoration, and referable to Ligozzi’s studio (XVI and XVII centuries) remain of this side of the palace. As far as the late sixteenth-century facade is concerned there is unfortunately only one nineteenth-century photo allowing to clearly recognise  the Veronese, post Sanmicheli, architectonic language. The area, inherited by the Maffeis in the first years of the Seventeenth Century, was by them widened through the acquisition of neighbouring buildings, which were given spacial unity at the end of the Eighteenth Century, according to  the project by Luigi Trezza (1752-1823), protagonist of the Veronese architecture of that period, through the realization of the monumental façade on the first “cortile”, of the solemn entrance-hall with Ionic columns and of the majestic, pincer-shaped staircase; elements which are still present today. The palace was passed to Canossa family in 1826 and then acquired by Castellani di Sermeti in 1867, who decided for a new intervention. The project, made by the engineer Giuseppe Manganotti, fully renewed the exterior in the sober forms still perfectly legible thanks to the very recent restoration.
