PALAZZO TACCO DI MONTEMILETTO

You can see Palazzo Tocco di Montemiletto at number 148 of Via Toledo, which is also called Palazzo Tapia in remembrance of the Spanish judge who had the palace built in the second half of the sixteenth century, and then suitably enlarged it to match his new social position when he was appointed President of the Royal Chamber. However, of the original Baroque style only the portal remains, while its current Neoclassical appearance is due to the restyling carried out in the early 1800s by the new owners, the princes of Montemiletto. Unfortunately, the valuable frescoes of Luca Giordano were lost in the renovations.
