Palazzo Malvezzi De’ Medici, now the office of the Metropolitan City of Bologna, is known as “palazzo dal portico buio” (the building with the dark portico) given the typical semi-darkness of its porch.
Built starting from 1560 upon the design of Bartolomeo Triachini, it is embellished with an imposing 18th century staircase and 19th-century decorations on the main floor.
It was acquired by the Bologna Provincial Administration that immediately proposed a restructuring plan in 1931.
