Palazzo Bichi Ruspoli

The Palazzo Bichi Ruspoli, or previously Palazzo or Castellare dei Rossi, is an urban palace, located on Via Banchi di Sopra in the present contrada of Civetta, Terzo di Camollia of the city of Siena, region of Tuscany, Italy.

The three-story palace with a curved facade was enlarged by Alessandro Bichi in 1520.

[1] The palace originally was owned by the Rossi family and housed Charles of Anjou during a stay in Siena.

[2] The present Neoclassic style interiors were commissioned in the 18th century by the Marquis Bichi Ruspoli from the artist and architect Jacopo Franchini.

The interiors maintain much of the original Neoclassical fresco decoration by Alessandro Franchi, Cesare Maffei, and Giovanni Bandini.
