[1] In 1649, when the very young Maria Anna of Habsburg stopped in Trento on her way to Spain for her wedding to Filippo IV, a performance of the drama in music Aldna was organised in her honour in the palace.

After various family vicissitudes, one of the heirs to the property was Ginevra de Zorzi, consort of the nobleman Marco Martinengo Cesaresco, but after his death the palace was left to the city's institute for the deaf and dumb until 1871, when it was bought by the barons Ceschi di Santa Croce.

[1] A final round of conservation work was planned in 2011 with the aim of securing the degraded parts of the various façades and restoring the original colour of the Austro-Hungarian period, prior to its acquisition by the Trentino diocese.

The balcony, located on the piano nobile, is accessed through the serliana above which is a bas-relief sculpture of the Madonna and Child Jesus commissioned by Celestino Endrici.

In the extensive garden is the chapel of St. John the Baptist and is accessed from the inner eastern façade, which in the centre, during the 20th century, had a large external staircase with a semi-cylindrical stained glass window inserted.
