Domus gentilitia, nowaday head office of Municipal Tourism, Culture and Sport
councillorships, in the middle of the historical centre of Ancona.
Palazzo Camerata is located on the ancient Via di San Pietro (Saint Peter
Route), today named Via Fanti. Build in the 16th century, was renewed in the
18th without any particular variation of the original plant.
In the groundfloor there are still various decorative elements (stone portals and other structures). The frontage is carachterized by a severe ashlar portal made of limestone, like cantonals made. It's one of the really few buildings of Ancona that mantained the "altana" (an elment like a balcony on the roof).
The Camerata family, from Bergamo, arrived at Ancona in the 16th century and in the 1596, as an Albertini script says, had two "possidenze" (properties), related to two family branches. In the 1639 Lorenzo and Carlo Antonio Camerata are added to the nobleness of Ancona by Poper Urbanus VIII.
Maggiori (1821) and the Guide of Ancona 1884 indicate the prestigious collection of paintings, from which arrived to Muncicipal Art Gallery "Francesco Podesti" the Guercino's Immaculate Conception and a copy of the original of the Maid whith the Child and Saint Giovannino, by Andrea del Sarto, the main one conserved in the Borghese Gallery in Rome.
