Approximately 8,500 blocks of veined white marble compose the fa\u00e7ade of the building, creating special effects of perspective, thanks to the differing shapes of the \u2018diamonds\u2019. Each is positioned differently, based on its allocation, so as to capture the light better. The building was designed by Biagio Rossetti, for Sigismondo d&#8217;Este, brother of Duke Ercole I d&#8217;Este, beginning in 1493. It represents the ideal centre of &#8220;Erculean Addition&#8221;, a very high level of urban planning that Rossetti created for the Duke. Since 1842, when the building was taken over by the Municipality of Ferrara, it has been home to the pinacotheca and Civil University. It is now also an exhibition space that hosts international shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/SM_palazzo_post_16-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22771\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/SM_palazzo_post_16-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/SM_palazzo_post_16-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/SM_palazzo_post_16-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/SM_palazzo_post_16-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/SM_palazzo_post_16-205x205.jpg 205w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/SM_palazzo_post_16-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/SM_palazzo_post_16-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/SM_palazzo_post_16.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elegant and solemn, with its textured fa\u00e7ade, Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara is what inspired Santamargherita\u2019s SM Marble of the name \u201cDiamanti\u201d.
