Built in the early years of the XXth century by G.Pontoni and E.Lambertini as a sign of the modern Bologna (as a matter of fact, it was called “modernissimo” that is to say very modern), the palace is on the corner of the Pavaglione portico (XVIth century). At present, the ground floor hosts a refined jewelry entered in the register of historical shops. The outdoor furniture of the Art Nouveau shop windows was designed by Paolo Sironi.

Curiosity: During the first ten days of last century, in the corner between the Pavaglione portico and via Rizzoli, a group of elegant layabouts used to spend their time commenting on women. For this reason, the place was called “l’angolo degli imbecilli” that means the “corner of the stupid people”.
