HISTORICAL
MASTERPIECE

Nestled in the shadow of Cortona’s city walls, Palazzo Passerini is a 15th-century masterpiece, built between 1492 and 1495 by Silvio Passerini. He then moved to Florence and became friends with Lorenzo di Medici (Later Pope Leo X). Returning to Cortona in 1526 he took up residence in the main square in a building gifted to him as Cardinal Passerini. He later built a grander Palazzo outside the city walls, but our Palazzo was the original and is built on Etruscan foundations that date back millennia.
