Palazzo Riva (in the city) is a historic palace in Castel Goffredo, in the province of Mantua and is located in the central Piazza Mazzini.[1]
History[edit]
Probably built at the end of the fifteenth century, the building was part of a complex of two buildings that belonged to the noble Riva family of Castel Goffredo, who came to the city in 1590.[2]
On 20 November 1834, the castle explorer Giuseppe Acerbi was celebrated in the halls of the palace on his return from Egypt.
In one of these homes Bartolomeo Riva welcomed Victor Emmanuel II, future King of Italy in May 1848.[3][4]
Description[edit]
The first building retains important features such as the loggia on the ground floor with marble columns and an upper loggia, recently walled up. On the upper floor is the "party hall" with frescoes on the walls and a stucco fireplace on which the Riva family coat of arms stands out.
The second building, adjacent to the first, has a marble balcony on the façade supported by two sphinxes. A seventeenth-century marble portal leads to the marble staircase that leads to the upper floor where there is a central hall overlooking the square. A stretch of fifteenth-century porticoes runs beneath the palace.
