Palazzo Buonaccorsi

Palazzo Buonaccorsi

The "Palazzo Buonaccorsi" is a palace in Macerata, Marche, Italy. It was built in 1700-1720 for Count Raimondo Buonaccorsi and his son Cardinal Simone Buonaccorsi, using designs by Giovanni Battista Contini. The palace is notable for its somewhat coherent series of rococo paintings on themes from the Aeneid, although painted by diverse prominent Italian artists,

The "piano nobile" is known for the "Sala dell'Eneide" (Hall of the Aeneid), decorated with frescoes by the Bolognese Carlo Antonio Rambaldi, Antonio Dardani ("Apotheosis of Aeneas" in vault), the Napoletan Francesco Solimena ("Dido welcomes Aeneas") and canvases by Luigi Garzi ("Venus in the Forge of Vulcan"). The painter Giovanni Gioseffo dal Sole completed a canvas ("Andromache weeping before Aeneas"). Other submissions were from Giuseppe Gambarini, Antonio Balestra, Gregorio Lazzarini ("Death of Queen Dido" and "Battle of Aeneas and Mezentius"), and lastly Marcantonio Franceschini ("Mercury awakens Aeneas"). The team of artists represented some of the major Italian artists of their day.
