The original nucleus arose between 1580 and 1590 but the present architectural physiognomy is the result of the neoclassical reorganization carried out by Nicolino da Calepio in the late 1700s.
Also dating back to the 1590s is the cycle of frescoes painted by Bergamo painter Giovan Paolo Cavagna (Bergamo 1550 ca-1627), traces of which remain visible, allowing us to reconstruct the vast original iconographic program in which biblical and mythological, sacred and profane episodes are juxtaposed, an important piece for furthering studies on profane painting and the great decoration of stately palaces in Bergamo in the 16th century.
On the west side of the palace is an elegant portico with a sail vault decorated with grotesques depicting the themes of the Seasons and the Theological and Cardinal Virtues.
Through the portico one enters the large reception hall frescoed with the Labors of Hercules and three smaller rooms, on whose vaults are depicted The Chariot of Apollo, Susanna at the Bath and Judith and Holofernes.
