By joining the car rental service with driver in Foligno you can visit parts of the city that are particularly beautiful and of national interest.
Palazzo Trinci , residence of the family that ruled the city between 1305 and 1439, is the result of a renovation of pre-existing buildings carried out between 1389 and 1407 by Ugolino Trinci . It is accessed via a Gothic staircase, currently inside the Palace, which leads to the Loggia frescoed with the legend of the foundation of Rome. The rooms on the main floor branch off from here. The Chapel is decorated with the Stories of the Virgin (Ottaviano Nelli – 1424).
Through an arched door you enter the Hall of Arts and Planets, where the liberal arts are represented (Rhetoric, Arithmetic, Astronomy, Geometry, Music, Dialectics, Grammar combined with Philosophy), the seven planets and the seven ages of man symbolized from an hour of the day. The same theme returns in the arch that connects the palace to the cathedral. It is in the Hall of the Emperors, originally used as a public hall, that the greatness of Rome celebrates its splendor.
We find ourselves in the center of a portico open onto the countryside: a true garden of life. Inscribed at the center of each arch is a great figure from its history, shown as an example of greatness and virtue. The frescoes were recently assigned to Gentile da Fabriano, thanks to the discovery of an important document and dated 1411-12. The Palace is home to the Archaeological Museum and the city’s art gallery.
