Palazzo

I live in London, where I work in a library, and dabble in freelance journalism. I'm very interested in Italy, so I've been mostly clicking around the Italian and Renaissance entries here, and messing with some slightly inelegant English. If I've messed with your prose I apologise - it's the pedant in me!

Palazzo

It Italy, a ''palazzo'' is a grand building of some architectural ambition that is the headquarters of a family of some renown, or of an institution, or even, in modern times of what the English call "a block of flats."
