Palazzo Rosso
Palazzo Rosso has a fascinating history that runs back in time to the 18th century. In fact, the oldest parts seem to date back to that time, but during the restoration, a wooden door with peepholes typical of 17th century cloisters was also discovered. This treasure, as well as the numerous religious frescoes, suggest that the palace once housed a convent, and then a noble family of Neapolitan origin to whom we owe the red facade. Once the home of Ostuni’s first mayor, Don Paolo Tanzarella, the stone building has always been at the centre of the town’s social and cultural life and its walls tell its tumultuous history. Since his youth, Don Tanzarella had been a member of the ‘Giovine Italia’ (Young Italy) insurrectionary movement and on 26 June 1860, 10 years after centuries of foreign occupation, Ostuni was the first town in Apulia to proclaim the unification of Italy and proudly fly the green, white and red flag. At the end of the century, things changed and so did the Palace, still owned by the Tanzarella family. By the 1970s, the Palazzo had been asleep for over forty years. Only its magnificent vaults, its centuries-old stones and its historical frescoes remained.
