Superb palace built in the old Strà (street) S. Donato, thus attesting the social rise of the Magnani family present in Bologna since the 13th century. The family name recalls the profession of ‘magnano’, namely blacksmith, soon discarded for much more profitable banking activities, which soon won the senatorial class and important political offices for the family.
