Palazzo Zappaglia (Zappaglia Palace), today parish rectory, can be found in what is\ncurrently via G. Garibaldi (Garibaldi street), between the Town Hall and the\nnineteenth-century silk spinning mill.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are traces dating back to XIV century of\nthe presence in Medole of the Zappaglia family; they lived there and managed their\nlarge estates all over Medole, Ceresara (with the Gonzaga estate of San Lazzaro), San\nMartino Gusnago and Castiglione delle Stiviere.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On June 28, 1543, a meeting took place in the castle in Medole between Ferrante\nGonzaga, Cardinal Ercole Gonzaga and Margherita Paleologa whose son Francesco\n(Frances) was then legitimized his double investiture as Duke of Mantua and Marquis\nof Monferrato. They also reached an agreement concerning his future marriage to\nCaterina (Catherine), the granddaughter of the Emperor and daughter of Ferdinand,\nking of the Romans.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is on this occasion that the Emperor stayed in this dwelling and, to express his\ngratitude, he appointed Francesco Zappaglia Knight of the Holy Roman Empire.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In July 1580 the same room was used to accommodate saint-to-be Carlo Borromeo on\nhis pastoral visit as Bishop of Milan (and most probably in 1582 too, in the course of\na later visit).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Subsequently, in 1686, Duke Ferdinando Carlo (Ferdinand Charles) Gonzaga granted\nthe Zappaglia family the title of Count, which was passed on to the male firstborn.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On 1 st December 1724 notary Giuseppe Guidi stipulated the exchange of some assets\nbelonging to the parish with the building that was next used as rectory.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As far as the building is concerned, its origin dates back to the fifteenth century,\nwhen, according to the writer, it was built all over again.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today its plain structure is due to major alterations, the most clearly visible of which\nis the closure of the loggia on the ground floor.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The facade has a small forepart with traces of pilasters at the corners and in the main\npart the division emphasized by the four arches of the loggia is also noticeable. The\ninterior of the palace, with the exclusion of the recent alterations, shows a clean-cut\nplan, a clear characteristic of a structure built from scratch and not the result of the\nwork done earlier, as was often the case.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The loggia was originally supposed to be an open space fully decorated with a vine\ntrellis, ivy and other greenery.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the upper floor the staircase leads to the space above the portico which, in turn,\ngives access to a large hall (originally an open space, in all likelihood) decorated with\na zoomorphic frieze all around the room. A small room or study was created at the\nend of the hall, towards the entrance road: it boasts ornaments -still in excellent\ncondition \u2013 imitating a columned pavilion rich in floral festoons.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As on the lower floor, upstairs the space is also divided into three rectangular rooms,\neach of which clearly shows what remains of the wall decorations and the wooden\ncoffered ceilings.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The last room where the parish archive is kept today must have been the most\nimportant, probably the main bedroom: in it visitors can admire the superb stucco\nfireplace with floral trabeation and the Zappaglia family coat of arms on its\nmantelpiece. The wooden coffered ceiling decorated with stucco rosettes is perfectly\npreserved in this room.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
