Tozzoni Palace

The house museum of Palazzo Tozzoni in Imola has intact the charm of a palace inhabited for five centuries by the same family and the apartments, perfectly preserved, represent an example of the ways of living that have alternated over time. Open to the public since 1981, the exhibition itinerary offers an intact testimony of the life that took place, from the public to the daily one, in a journey that discovers the places intended for representation such as the hall and the apartments on the main floor, the more private ones such as the library, the living rooms on the ground floor, up to the domestic spaces such as the kitchens, the cellars and the courtyards with the wells and the tub. The almost two hundred paintings of the art collection, in which the Bolognese school prevails with paintings by Passerotti, Fontana, Cesi, Donnini, Beccadelli, and applied art objects, furnishings, family memories and a collection of demo-ethno-anthropological materials coming from the farmers of the accounts, they dialogue with each other in a substantially intact context. They pass down to us the history and family events, the changing fashions and collecting tastes over the centuries that determined the different architectural and furnishing choices.
