Palazzo Anguillara in Scandriglia: where the Renaissance meets late Gothic
Palazzo Anguillara is located in Piazza Giuseppe Mazzini 12, at the highest point of Scandriglia, in the Sabina region. It dates back to the 15th century, and blends Renaissance architecture with late-Gothic touches. A pointed-arch mullioned window juts out from the façade — reason enough on its own to climb all the way to the top of the village.
A building with essential forms
The building appears to be cube-shaped. The façade forgoes architectural orders: it has limestone corner bands and two Renaissance portals — one larger and one smaller — with lintels supported by small corbels and smooth rusticated surrounds. On the first floor, there is a pointed-arch mullioned window with late-Gothic tracery decorations.
Inside
Little remains of the interior structures. A few stone door surrounds with scroll-shaped corbels survive, along with frescoes from the school of Antoniazzo Romano, a painter active in Rome in the second half of the 15th century. The palazzo stands opposite the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta in Cielo (St Mary of the Assumption), where the defensive fortress of the village probably stood.
Practical information
The palazzo is located in Piazza Giuseppe Mazzini 12, Scandriglia (RI).
