the Palazzo
Palazzo Ricci, designed by the architect Baldassare Peruzzi, is one of the best-preserved Renaissance buildings in Montepulciano. It is located in Via Ricci and is characterised by a large portal set with enormous stones, to which a wide stepped ramp leads.
With its simple elegance, Palazzo Ricci represents the bare and unadorned style of a type of building that was widespread in the 16th century.
