A Jacobite Gazetteer - BolognaPalazzo Fantuzzi |
This palace is located at Via San Vitale 23. It has been described as "the most singular and anticonformist of the great patrician residences of the Renaissance in Bologna". 1 Until the end of the eighteenth century the palace was the residence of the Fantuzzi family. King James III and VIII and his family used the palace as their Bolognese residence on several occasions in the late 1720's. 2 James lived here until January 1729; his sons stayed until April 1729; his wife Clementina stayed until May 1729. 3 |
