Palazzo Ardinghelli – where baroque and modern art meet
Palazzo Ardinghelli is one of L'Aquila's most beautiful baroque palaces and tells the impressive story of the city itself. It was built after the devastating earthquake of 1703 and grew into an architectural masterpiece, with its monumental baroque staircase and the magnificent frescoes by Vincenzo Damini as the focal point.
After the severe earthquake of 2009, the palace seemed lost, but thanks to a restoration funded by the Russian government, it was given new life. Since 2021, it has housed MAXXI L'Aquila, a branch of the national museum of contemporary art.
