In the basement there is a beautiful old vaulted cellar, this is where the exhibitions are now taking place.

The grand palace was commissioned towards the end of the 16th century by the brothers Scipione and Alessandro Tarasconi, on a probable project by Giovanni Francesco Testa, using part of the pre-existing 14th-century buildings, with an articulated conformation.

After the death of the architect, Giovanni Battista Magnani almost certainly succeeded him, who intervened in the important extension after 1604 of the western wing of the building and the entire southern part on the current road to Ponte Caprazucca, where the pre-existing portico was demolished.

Already around the middle of the seventeenth century, a new architect intervened, who built the characteristic spiral staircase in the southwest corner of the central courtyard and raised the windows on the outer facades of the building's highest floor, which, however, remained unfinished.

In 1857, the last Count Luigi Tarasconi, without direct descendants, named as his universal heir the Marquis Luigi Lupo Meli Lupi di Soragna, who the following year added the surname Tarasconi to his own, combining the coats of arms of the two families.

In 1860 the first branch of the Cassa di Risparmio di Parma was inaugurated in the building , later moved to the building in Piazza Garibaldi.

Between the late 19th century and early 20th century, the rear facade of the building was eventually slightly altered, opening onto the rear courtyard, and some internal changes were made.

In 2014, the Marquis Meli Lupi of Soragna Tarasconi sold the building to the entrepreneur Corrado Galloni, who began the restoration of the entire building the following year.

A building of great historical value built in the 16th century, Palazzo Tarasconi is today recognized as a center of art and culture, as well as being a suggestive location for events.

Palazzo Tarasconi, also known as Palazzo Soragna Tarasconi, is a building with Renaissance forms,

a large palace was built towards the end of the 16th century at the behest of the brothers Scipione and Alessandro Tarasconi, probably based on a design by Giovanni Francesco Testa, incorporating part of the pre-existing 14th-century buildings, with an articulated shape.

Following the architect's death, he was almost certainly succeeded by Giovanni Battista Magnani, who intervened in the important expansion, after 1604, concerning the west wing of the building and the entire southern portion on the current road to Ponte Caprazucca, where the pre-existing portico was demolished.

Already around the middle of the 17th century, a new architect intervened, who created the characteristic spiral staircase in the southwest corner of the central courtyard and raised the windows on the external facades of the highest floor of the building, which however remained unfinished.

In 1857, the last Count Luigi Tarasconi, without direct descendants, named the Marquis Luigi Lupo Meli Lupi di Soragna as his universal heir, who the following year added the surname Tarasconi to his own, uniting the coats of arms of the two families.

In 1860, the first headquarters of the Cassa di Risparmio di Parma was inaugurated inside the building, which later moved to the building in Piazza Garibaldi.

Finally, between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, the rear facade of the building, open to the rear, was slightly changed and some internal modifications were made.

In 2014, the Marquises Meli Lupi di Soragna Tarasconi sold the palace to the entrepreneur Corrado Galloni, who the following year began the restoration of the entire structure.
