Palazzo Zagnoni, Bologna
The Palazzo Zagnoni, also known as Palazzo Spada, is a Neoclassic-style palace located on Via Castiglione 25–27, in Bologna, region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy.

In 1706, the palace was acquired by Giuseppe Maria Zagnoni, whose family lived in the adjacent structure. To his properties were added the houses of Cavazza and Poeti. In 1756 the marchese Antonio, son of Giuseppe Maria, obtained permission from the Senate to substitute the wooden pilasters with a stone portico.

The development of archaeology and published accurate records of surviving classical buildings was crucial in the emergence of Neoclassical architecture. In many countries, there was an initial wave essentially drawing on Roman architecture, followed, from about the start of the 19th century, by a second wave of Greek Revival architec ...
