The history of Palazzo Brenzoni

The history of Palazzo Brenzoni is part of the rich panorama of Veronese residential construction in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance. Its origins seem to date back to the 14th century, when the first structures that can be traced back to the present building stood in the area of Via Duomo.

The first documented evidence appears in 1755, when the palace is mentioned as the property of Santo Pizzardini. A few decades later, in 1789, the building was purchased by the nobleman Agostino Vincenzo di Brenzone: this was the beginning of the permanent presence of the Brenzoni family, who in the following decades gave the building a decisive renovation in the late Gothic style.

In the Austrian Land Register of 1847, the palace is listed as belonging to Count Lodovico Brenzoni, son of Agostino. Only a few years later, in 1856, a project to modify the elevation was presented to the Congregazione dell'Ornato, signed by Francesco Fusari, Public Municipal Archivist and relative of the Brenzoni family.

At the beginning of the 20th century, in the 1920 census, the property appears in the hands of Countess Guarienti, widow Brenzoni.

The most recent chapter opened in 2013, when the palazzo was acquired by the current owners and underwent a major conservative restoration. The work uncovered precious traces of the 14th century, including decorative fragments, a wooden ceiling with painted floorboards, and other historical testimonies that today contribute to the unique charm of the residence.
