Palazzo Trinci is the result of a renovation of pre-existing buildings carried out between 1389 and 1407 by Ugolino Trinci. The entrance was through the Gothic staircase, currently inside the Palace, which leads to the Loggia with frescoes telling the legend of the founding of Rome. From here you step into the halls of the noble floor. The Chapel by Ottaviano Nelli is decorated with stories of the Virgin. From an arched door you enter the Hall of Arts and Planets, where liberal arts are represented; the seven planets and the seven ages of man are symbolized by the hour of the day. The same theme returns on the archway that connects the palace with the cathedral. It is in the Sala degli Imperatori, originally used as a public hall, that the grandeur of Rome is being splendidly celebrated. We are in the middle of a portico open to the countryside: in the centre of each arch, a “Great” of history is represented as an example of greatness and virtue. Frescoes have been recently attributed to Gentile da Fabriano and dated 1411-1412, thanks to the discovery of an important document,.
In Palazzo Trinci there is a Picture Gallery (Pinacoteca), currently showing the works of art of the Foligno painting school active between the end of the fourteenth and the whole of the fifteenth century, the Archaeological Museum that tells the history of the city and its territory, the Museum of the Municipal Institution and the Multimedia Museum of Jousting and Tournaments: let’s not forget that Foligno is the city of Quintana.
