Palazzetto Leonardi is an ancient, completely restored and decorated palace.
It dates from the
early XV century when it raised together the Castrum Sancti Pauli in Jana feud walls ,
the current San Polo dei Cavalieri
municipality.
Given its strategic location
between the tower and the main fortress
gate, its
original use was for a
military purpose.
The feud passing from the
Church dominion to Orsini family,
permitted the
radical restructuring from a military garrison
to a prestigious
residence. The most significant
renovations were made between
the XVI and XVII centuries when
the Rock successed to Cesi
family.
In XIX century the first private owner,
Vincenzo Meucci, made
significant palace enrichments with
decorations and paintings. The
last owner, architect
Leonardi, between the end of XIX and early
XX century left a Liberty
imprint to the palace which gives the currently visible charm and
beauty.
