The Alloro Residence
Historical origins of the palace
The Residenza dell’Alloro is located inside the historic Palazzo Bellacera, also known as Palazzo San Gabriele.
-
17th century → original construction by the Bellacera family, barons of Verbumcaudo.
-
18th century → transfer to the Lo Faso di San Gabriele family, who renovated the façade and enriched the interiors in Baroque style.
The name of the street derives from the famous laurel tree that grew in the inner garden, still today a symbol of this connection with the city.
