History
It was commissioned in 1474 by Cardinal Bartolomeo Roverella; when he died in 1477, work stopped. After centuries of unsuitable uses, the façade was restored after the Second World War. Since 2005 it has housed the art gallery of the Accademia dei Concordi and the Bishop's Seminary, and major temporary exhibitions.
