Galletti House in the Center of Cento

This property retains almost all of its traditional and essential architectural elements, largely unchanged over time. The residence and outbuildings total 373 sqm of commercial space, complemented by a double garden of 280 sqm. Features of the House Situated along the public street, the classic facade proudly displays a marble plaque commemorating the birth of the Cento-born sculptor Stefano Galletti. The portico shelters the main entrance and a shop. Upon entering through the restored old door, one is greeted by a grand atrium with well-preserved wooden beams, providing access to the double garden. This atrium, or "loggia," leads to a large salon with a fireplace and two additional rooms. At the end of the atrium, an interior door opens to reveal a bright and secluded garden, protected by high walls, divided into two courtyards. The ground floor area, excluding the portico and shop, is approximately 110 sqm, while the total garden area is around 280 sqm. An expansive staircase leads to the main floor, also adorned with wooden beams, featuring four large rooms ranging from 25 sqm to over 30 sqm, along with a service area. The main salon boasts another beautiful 18th-century fireplace, decorated in white stucco. The first floor area is about 165 sqm. An original staircase takes you to the spacious attic, with ceiling heights up to 4.6 meters and an area of approximately 100 sqm, plus an 18 sqm terrace. The attic, with a roof rebuilt using period beams, includes a planned sloped terrace that, along with strategically placed skylights, provides ample natural light. Completing the property are two additional buildings in the garden: one used as a woodshed and a small two-level outbuilding. These accessories total approximately 120 sqm. An initial project by a renowned Bolognese architect planned for the renovation of the house into a single large residence. A subsequent, unfinished project divided the palace into five smaller units. The exterior of the building has been finely restored, while the interior remains in a raw state. A shop unit, currently rented, is not included in the price. (The information and plans provided are for indicative purposes only and do not constitute contractual elements).
