Palazzo

Encyclopedia : P : PA : PAL : Palazzo

Palazzo is more broadly used in Italian than its English equivalent "palace". In Italy, a palazzo is a grand building of some architectural ambition that is the headquarters of a family of some renown or of an institution, or even what the English call a "block of flats". The worlds "palazzo" (Italian), "palace" (English and French) and the other similar worlds come from the name of the Palatine hill in Rome. On this hill the patrician family Julia ("gens Julia" in Latin) owned some land and then build their residence. When Octavian became Roman emperor after his succession to Julius Caesar their home and the name of the Palatine hill itself became synonymous of Imperial residence.
