Palazzo Venturi Gallerani, Siena

The Palazzo Venturi Gallerani is an 18th-century palace located on via delle Cerchia #6, near the Pinacoteca Nazionale in the city of Siena, region of Tuscany, Italy. The palace is presently occupied by private residences.

The palace was erected in 1790, commissioned by Giuseppe Venturi Gallerani. The Piano Nobile was frescoed during 1793-1794 by the neoclassical painter Luigi Ademollo. He painted the Life of the blessed Andrea Gallerani in the chapel.[1] Pope Pius VI stayed here after the Tuscan earthquake of 26 May 1798.[2] Ademollo also painted frescoes in the Palazzo Segardi in the city.
