To the South, Piazza Martiri (Martyrs’ Square) is dominated by the imposing Palazzo Sartoretti (Sartoretti Palace): a scenographic stronghold originally built in the 16th century and later modified in 1765 by the wealthy Sartoretti family, who resided within its walls. In 1979, the palace was donated to the Municipality, following the bequest of the lineage’s last descendant.

Its façade harmoniously combines the palace’s main body with two lower lateral wings, all structured on three levels. A symmetrical sequence of windows lines each storey: those on the ground floor, once used for service areas, are simpler than the grander openings of the piano nobile (main floor), while the smaller and plainer ones on the third level once belonged to the servants’ quarters. Inside, an elegant 18th-century staircase with railings leads to the piano nobile, where painted decorations - executed between the late 18th and early 19th centuries - lend a refined Neoclassical atmosphere, rich with Pompeian-inspired motifs. Of special note is the splendid Salone dei Miti (Myths’ Hall), a room once used to host feasts and that still today features its original flooring. Its trompe-l’oeil decorations create a captivating three-dimensional illusion, while the recurring motifs of towers and bulls playfully allude to the family name “Sartoretti” (in Italian, from “torrette” - little towers -  and “torelli” - little bulls -). 

Thanks to the preservation of its original structure, visitors today can admire the authentic layout of an ancient noble mansion. The Palace opens onto a wide inner garden, now a public park spanning 10,800 m², home to over 70 native plant species, some centuries old. The area includes rest spaces and playgrounds and is open daily.

Currently, Palazzo Sartoretti houses Reggiolo’s Town Hall, the public library, art-gallery and and various exhibition spaces, including the Museo Antonio Ruggero Giorgi (“Antonio Ruggero Giorgi” Museum). Dedicated to painter Antonio Ruggero Giorgi (Reggiolo, 1887), the Raccolta d’Arte “Antonio Ruggero Giorgi” (“Antonio Ruggero Giorgi” Art Collection), established in 1975 following the artist’s bequest to his hometown, is included in the catalogue of the Istituto dei Beni Culturali dell’Emilia Romagna. The collection comprises 35 oil paintings and 30 graphic works, including dry-point engravings, pencil drawings, and ink pieces.
