Palazzo Santa Elisabetta

Palazzo Santa Elisabetta, piazza Attias, Livorno
The Palazzo Santa Elisabetta was built between 1858 and 1860 opposite Villa Attias. Today it is practically the only notable building of the period in Piazza Attias. Adriana Poli di Montaperto, known as duchess of Santa Elisabetta, bought it 1874 and organized there one of the most important literary salons of Livorno.

On her death she left the building in equal parts to the diocese and the municipality, with a provision that its revenues were to be used to fund scholarships.

    And I hope the intent of her will was honored and that there were many beneficiaries.
