Affreschi di Palazzo Niccolini

Surprised by the restoration work on the façade, the frescoes in Palazzo Niccolini enchant visitors with the beauty of their sixteenth-century sacred images.

A wonderful surprise in the centre of Trento! Unexpectedly emerged during the restoration work carried out on the facade of Palazzo Niccolini, the frescoes dating back to the end of the 16th century present themselves today in all their beauty. Standing in front of the building you can admire an exceptional series of paintings depicting the Translation of the Holy House of Nazareth where Jesus lived, arrived in flight in the church of Santa Maria di Loreto. On the sides are the figures of Saint Sebastian and Saint Rocco, and a Christ who pours blood from the side into the chalice. Significant is the presence of the coat of arms of Madrid, which recalls the noble Trentino family. The attribution of the frescoes is not certain, although it seems to date back to several artists of the Venetian school.
