The Palazzo is set in an area rich in noble buildings, as seen by the multiple decorative devices indicating a certain “taste for living” closely connected with aristocratic wealth, which have been preserved and are easily found in internal rooms, entrances and façades.
The Palazzo was built by Francesco Giacinto Gallinati and the building work was completed in 1689. In 1768, the residence was purchased by the marquess, Carlo Tete Del Carretto di Gorzegno, who initiated new works, including an enlargement of his accommodation on the piano nobile, with the creation of some fine floors, in particular, a parquet one with panel design and some Barge quartzite floors.
