Palace for sale | Veneto, Castelmassa
Palazzo Bentivoglio, located in the heart of Castelmassa (province of Rovigo), represents one of the most significant architectural and cultural testimonies of the Polesine territory.

The entire palace underwent a total renovation by the current ownership, which lasted about 5 years and was overseen by Arch. Zecchini Andrea of Bologna.
