Palazzo Guillichini

It is situated at 115-113, Corso Italia.

     This highly remarkable building belonged to the Guillichini family, a rich and noble family who came from Città di  Castello (a nearby small town) into Arezzo in the XIV^th century and was soon  admitted among the notables of the town. Their first house was in Via Cesalpino, but at the beginning of the XVII^th century they moved here. They were Ghibellines.

Nowadays the Galleria Comunale d'Arte Contemporanea is in there.

High up on the corner of the building between Via Mannini and Corso Italia there is a small shrine with a statue of the Virgin in sandstone dating 1850.
