PALAZZO PARADISI - It is a courtyard building built around the 18th century as, albeit in a summary and indicative way, the map drawn up by Banzoli in 1720 seems to confirm. It arises from the division and consequent transformation of some pre-existing buildings: reorganized according to an approach that refers to the usual typology of the stately building.According to the Camuncoli charter, in fact, before its construction there were some small buildings intersected by a system of internal and service alleys (of which some traces still remain) which connected the nucleus of the block with the surrounding streets.The first news about its building consistency, already witnessed according to the current shapes and sizes in the 1896 land registry, date back to the 18th century.In the Appraisal of the Houses of Reggio "of 1717 it results from Zanichi Girolamo under the parish of S.Peter; in the "Denuncie del Catasto Estense" of 1786 of the Convent of S.Domenico and in the "New Numbering of the Houses of Reggio" of 1821 by Count Paradisi with assigned the street number 6 of via Gabbi.These Paradises were a rich and noble family whose prominent exponents include Agostino), poet and economist and Giovanni), man of letters, politician, president of the Senate of the Kingdom of Italy from 1809 to 1812.The current arrangement of the building is probably due to the Paradises.
