PALAZZO VENTURELLI
The Venturelli family, known in Amelia since the 1300s, had the noble residence erected only in the second half of the 16th century.
The building was constructed on pre-existing Roman structures and rooms using them as a base. In fact, the palace insists on a Roman domus: built in the 1st BC. Between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD it was enriched with floors decorated with black and white mosaic tiles.
In the atrium there is a travertine base in which the mouth of a well or cistern opens: a courtyard or open atrium is hypothesized.
The mosaics of Palazzo Venturelli represent the richness of private construction in the Roman city, reflecting the ambitions of an emerging class asserting itself in society.
