Palazzo Cavasola in Finalborgo
A prestigious 18th century painted façade in Finalborgo
In Via Gallesio in Finalborgo there is Cavasola palace that is a prestigious example of a noble home that belonged to this family at the end of the 16th century.
The façade of the palace has a rich polychrome decoration fresco with false architecture frames and late Mannerist motifs that can be dated to the late 18th century.
