In the Middle Ages they made up the <\/span>Convinicio of S.Bartolomeo <\/span><\/i>that\u00a0 went down, flanking the public street ( today\u2019s Salita Sopramuro), to Municipio Square and it also included St.Bartolomeo\u2019s Church.<\/span><\/p>\n The palace’s history is very old:<\/span> as early as 1367,<\/b> the site of today\u2019s Palazzo Casanova was home to the domus ( urban residences) of the Merculino merchant family. A 15th century fresco depicting the scene of the \u201c Escape to Egypt \u201c is still visible on the outer facade of a passageway connected with the palace on one side and covering a section of the public street.<\/span><\/p>\n Today\u2019s architectural structure of Palazzo Casanova <\/span>shows traces of the original medieval <\/b>domus<\/i><\/b>, particularly in the corridor area. In later centuries it was completely transformed into a palace, mainly between the 18th and 19th centuries. The area where we have the honour of hosting you today was the main floor of the building, composed of several levels in different wings with different entrances and gardens.<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.14.6″ custom_margin=”0px||4vh||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”0px||4vh||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||0vh||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”|0px|44px|0px|false|false” custom_css_main_element=”align-items: center;” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.14.6″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text quote_border_weight=”2px” quote_border_color=”#78282D” _builder_version=”4.14.6″ text_font_size=”16px” link_font=”||||on||||” link_text_color=”#78282D” quote_font=”Playfair Display||||||||” quote_font_size=”22px” quote_line_height=”1.7em” header_2_font=”|300|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin_tablet=”-16px||7px” custom_margin_phone=”-13px||6px” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”25px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_css_main_element=”align-items: center;” global_colors_info=”{}” link_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” link_text_color__hover=”#AA6A73″]The members of our family, the Casanovas, moved into this building in the early 1800\u2019s.

You can see him in a photo together with his wife Anna in his study in the house. He loved living within these walls as much as his daughters, our beloved aunts, who spent their long lives in these rooms embroidering linen, delighthing palates, loving their nephews and nieces. He headed a liberal-democratic political group, called \u201cil partito delle giacchette\u201d, which opposed \u201c il partito delle sciamberghe \u201c, openly conservative. The goals of his political and administrative program were the progress of the city, the fight against illiteracy and better socio-economic conditions for the lower classes. In 1917 the mayor Casanova organized the reception of refugees from Veneto and Friuli italian region on the run after the defeat of Caporetto.<\/span><\/p>\n He is famous in the history of Amalfi also <\/span>for the traditional Christmas lunches at Palazzo<\/b> Casanova, during which he used to offer 27 courses to his family and to his guests<\/b>.
