The building’s exterior is typical of the neoclassical age in Parma and Piacenza, although the elements of artistic value that probably adorned the piano nobile, stuccoes and frescoes, have been lost. Until December 2016 the estate was used as home to the Justice of the Peace offices. The interior has terracotta tiles floors, plastered and painted walls and ceilings, external wooden frames and double-glazing internal frames (also in the attic). The inner courtyard has a concrete block paving. The palace interior has no elements of artistic value like frescoes or stuccoes, due to modern renovation works.

The property is divided as follows:

  • Basement, consisting of 4 spaces for a total area of 133 sqm, accessible by a flight of stairs through a wooden door; the spaces are wide, with exposed brick masonry and lowered vault, empty and abandoned; and the lower ground for a total area of about 382 sqm.
  • Ground floor, consisting of different spaces, the major of which were used as courtrooms, for a total area of about 370 sqm, and a paved inner courtyard of about 100 sqm; in this area is also included the boiler room of about 30 sqm, built on the north side and bordering to the private property in Via Genocchi and the two entrance halls, the vehicle accessible one in Via Genocchi and the pedestrian one in via Roma;
  • First floor, consisting of different spaces for a total area of about 376 sqm, accessible by a flight of stairs or by lift (to be modernized);
  • Attic, covering the entire area of the first floor but accessible only by the flight of stairs; the spaces in the northeast wing, used as storage rooms, have ordinary finishes and are equipped with heating, while the spaces in the northwest wing are just plastered and painted and devoid of pavement and systems. All the spaces around the stairwell and protruded on Via Roma have a major height (minimum 2,67 and maximum 5,12) and are unrefined. Energy class: G, KWh/sqm per year 334,56.

The estate has been declared of cultural interest pursuant to article 10 paragraphs 1 and 12 of the Legislative Decree 42/2004 by the then Regional Directorate for Cultural and Landscape Heritage of the region Emilia Romagna, with Decree n. 2653 dated 27/12/2011. The following deliberation n. 3523 dated 03/02/2015 has authorized the sale of the property pursuant to article 55 paragraph 3 of the Legislative Decree n.42/2004 as amended.

The building stands in a context of historical, architectural and urban importance, east of the 17th -century Ursuline complex, south of the 17th-century oratory of St. Christopher and at short distance from the Jesuit complex, consisting of the Church of St. Peter and the public library. The estate is at walk distance from the main public offices and facilities and from the parking areas of Piazza della Cittadella, a square that has been subject to important urban requalification: the former Chiesa del Carmine, a deconsecrated church, has been converted into a multipurpose center; the building destined to market hall is being demolished and replaced by a lighter structure, more suitable for the neighboring building fabric; new green areas and parking lots have been established. The estate is at ten minutes’ distance from the railway station and can be easily reached by public transport.
