Palazzo Cavalli

It is located in the center of the medieval village, next to Piazza dell’Antenna. It was erected in the year 1411 by Nicolò Cavalli, Captain of Soave, and son of the famous warrior Giacomo, appointed by the Serenissima as “noble Venetian and founder.”

It is a palace in perfect Gothic-Venetian style, with trilobate windows with pointed arches and an underlying loggia.

The façade was once beautifully frescoed with mythological subjects by Giovanni Maria Falconetto from Verona. As evidence of the frescoes, a panel by Pietro Nanin remains inside the palace, which reproduces the façade as it must have originally appeared.

In a geometric framework that surrounded the windows, panels depicting the Labors of Hercules were arranged, a theme that was also very common in various houses in Verona at that time.

In the Renaissance trifora, you can see, in the central columns, bas-reliefs depicting the lizard and the scorpion, figures thematically related to the subjects of the frescoes on the façade, which are no longer visible.

The palace is only visitable from the outside.
