The House
The house was built in the second half of 1500. The house was the right wing of the govern of Catena pier’s palace. It was part of Gonzaga/Canossa.
In 1720 became a house/workshop for master builders and plumbers.
In 1972 Osvaldo Trombini, painter, bought and restored the house with scientific methods.
A few friezes from Mantegna school were restored. Today you can see Gonzaga’s decoration on the wooden ceilings.
