About
The Bergomi Palace (in Italian: Palazzo Bèrgomi) is a 14th-century building in Mirandola, in the province of Modena, Italy.
The palace is situated in the south-western corner of Costituente square and it is characterized by a portico and terracotta decorations in Renaissance style, similar to the nearby Town hall: its architectural grandeur and elegance reflect the economic and political power of the ancient Bergomi family that owned the building, originally from the city of Bergamo.
The covered passage of the palace is commonly called "portico of Unica", remembering the old shop of confectionery (produced by the National Union Industries of Chocolate and Related) that was once located there.
