Palazzo Liviano
University of Padua
The Palazzo del Liviano – named in honor of the historian Titus Livius – was built in the 1930s of the 20th century as the seat of the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy of the University of Padua.
The project is by the great Milanese architect Gio Ponti, who also designed the furnishings of the palace.
The Liviano houses many treasures: the foyer frescoed by Massimo Campigli, the marble statue of Titus Livius by Arturo Martini, the Museum of Archaeological Sciences and Art, also designed by Gio Ponti, and, last but not least, the Hall of Giants with its extraordinary cycle of 16th-century frescoes.
Will be accessible for the occasion:
– the atrium of the Palace, magnificently frescoed, where there is a large sculpture dedicated to Titus Livius;
– the Hall of Giants, with its majestic 16th-century frescoes;
– the spaces of the Museum of Archaeological Sciences and Art, specially created by Gio Ponti between 1934 and 1939
