The Alidosi family was the first owner of the Renaissance mansion, which was later bought by the powerful Sassatelli family.<\/p>\n

In 1522 the works of enlargement ended and the palace acquired that long, impressive facade that can be seen almost looming over the via Emilia. The service entrance for the stables is the one which today opens into Piazza del Duomo while the main entrance on the via Emilia leads to a courtyard with portals sustained by fine sandstone columns decorated with capitals which bear the coat-of-arms of Giovanni Sassatelli, head of the \u201cguelfa\u201d group of the town. This building was not just the seat of the Sassatelli court, but was also the base where the private troops of mercenaries used to leave for their battles against the opposing \u201cVaini\u201d group.<\/p>\n

It was probably in one of the halls of the noble floor that in 1501, during a feast given by Cesare Borgia, Guidarello Guidarelli was betrayed and killed. A famous monument dedicated to him can be found in Ravenna next to the Accademia di Belle Arti.<\/p>\n

Today the building hosts offices, private homes and the concert hall Mariele Ventre.<\/p>\n
