In the first half of the 1930s, Padua – the venerable capital of Paduan learning, a city of rigorous jurists, theologians, and Giotto’s revolutionary frescoes – found itself facing the need to build a new home for the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy of the University of Padua.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But why was the building named Palazzo Liviano? The structure was dedicated to Livy<\/strong>, the illustrious Roman historian born in Paduan territory in 59 BC. Naming the new home of the humanities after him was meant to establish an ideal link between the great tradition of Latin historiography and contemporary academic research – a continuity between ancient history and modern university culture that would shape the entire project.<\/p>\n

The rector of the time, Carlo Anti<\/strong>, an archaeologist by training and a figure of remarkable refinement, was the strategist behind this operation. Anti, who served as rector from 1932 to 1943, held a vision of the university in which architectural renewal had to go hand in hand with the appreciation of historical and artistic heritage. It wasn’t simply about building new spaces for students and professors, but about creating an environment where architecture, art, archaeology and academic culture could all speak to one another. Gio Ponti<\/strong> played a central role in this project: the two had already worked together on the renovation of Palazzo Bo when, in 1934, the Milanese architect won the national competition for the new home of the Faculty of Letters in Piazza Capitaniato.<\/p>\n

Who was chosen for the undertaking? None other than the restless, versatile architect and designer of enlightened Milanese society: Gio Ponti<\/strong>. On the site of the pre-existing buildings that occupied the area, Ponti conceived a new palace for the Faculty of Letters, designed in direct relationship with the existing Sala dei Giganti (Hall of the Giants). Demolition and excavation began in the second half of the 1930s and brought even older structures to light; during construction, the perimeter walls of the Sala dei Giganti were left standing and its pillars reinforced, allowing the new architecture to settle into the complex historical stratification of the square.<\/p>\n

The result is a building in which modernity is not conceived as an erasure of the past, but as a new page written over a much older history. Palazzo Liviano thus became one of the most significant achievements of the university’s building programme during Carlo Anti’s rectorship: a twentieth-century architecture capable of coexisting with the traces of Carrarese, Venetian and Roman Padua.<\/p>\n

\n

Gio Ponti’s Architecture<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Palazzo Liviano was built to a design by Gio Ponti<\/strong>. But the true greatness of the Milanese master lies in the fact that he did not limit himself to designing the building’s outer shell: Ponti conceived the whole as a work in which architecture and interior furnishings had to form a coherent unity, following a single vision of space and university life.<\/p>\n

The architect personally designed numerous elements of the furnishings as well. Benches, desks, lecterns and coat racks all bear his mark, as do other pieces designed for the university spaces. Ponti’s intervention was not confined to fa\u00e7ades and the layout of rooms: it extended down to the details that students, professors and researchers encountered every day. Tables, desks, seating, cupboards, shelving and other furnishings were made from his original designs, following a vision in which furniture became an integral part of the architecture itself.<\/p>\n

The result is a body of rationalist, essential design in which architecture, furniture and the spaces of academic life all contribute to building a precise visual identity. It is precisely this design coherence that still makes the Liviano so compelling today: this is not simply a university building, but an environment in which every component of the project belongs to the same idea of space.<\/p>\n

\n

The Entrance Hall and the Masters of the Twentieth Century: Massimo Campigli and Arturo Martini<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The moment you step through the entrance, you are welcomed by a great figurative theatre. Carlo Anti wanted to involve some of the finest artists of the day to turn the entrance hall of Palazzo Liviano into a figurative programme built around the celebration of Livy and the continuity of Roman culture into the modern age.<\/p>\n

The great fresco in the entrance hall grew out of a competition announced in 1937, to which – on Gio Ponti’s suggestion – Guido Cadorin, Ubaldo Oppi, Mario Sironi and Massimo Campigli<\/strong> were all invited. Campigli won, and painted the work between 1939 and 1940. Its subject is archaeology as a source of Italian culture – a heritage belonging to scholars, but also to the community as a whole: the past is not presented as something static, but as living material to be studied, interpreted and passed on.<\/p>\n

The fresco covers an imposing surface and develops a composition populated with figures, artefacts and references to the world of archaeology. In one section of the vast painting, Campigli also inserted the contemporary protagonists of the project – Carlo Anti, Gio Ponti, Campigli himself, and the artist’s wife, Giuditta Campigli<\/strong> – turning the figurative programme into a kind of meeting between the ancient world evoked by the work and the present that was studying and reinterpreting it.<\/p>\n

On the other side of the entrance hall stands the monumental figure of Livy, created in 1942 by Arturo Martini<\/strong>, one of the most important Italian sculptors of the twentieth century.<\/p>\n

Martini was commissioned to give a body to the very symbol of the palace and of Padua’s historical tradition.<\/p>\n

The Latin historian is depicted in a withdrawn, meditative pose, far removed from the celebratory rhetoric of the traditional monumental statue. Martini himself described his conception of the work in a particularly striking image: “a child who kneels down and writes for his whole life.” The figure of Livy thus becomes a reflection on writing, on memory, and on the very act of handing history down.<\/p>\n

The dialogue between Martini’s sculpture, Campigli’s fresco and Ponti’s architecture makes the entrance hall one of the most distinctive spaces in the building: three different languages – painting, sculpture and architecture – come together to build a single reflection on the relationship between past and modernity.<\/p>\n

\n

The Sala dei Giganti<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The true scenic marvel of Palazzo Liviano lies in its relationship with a historical presence of enormous value: the Sala dei Giganti,<\/strong> the Hall of the Giants.<\/p>\n

The Sala dei Giganti was originally one of the state rooms of the Carrara Palace, the seat of the lords of Padua in the fourteenth century. It remained part of the Carrara residence until 1405; after the fall of the signoria and Padua’s submission to the Republic of Venice, the complex was transformed and became the seat of the Capitanio, the city’s military authority.<\/p>\n

The history of the hall is also closely bound up with Paduan humanist culture. Its first decoration was dedicated to illustrious men of antiquity and was tied to the cultural programme of the Carrara court and to the figure of Francesco Petrarch<\/strong>, whose De viris illustribus<\/em> was one of the key sources for the hall’s iconographic tradition. That original decoration was, however, profoundly transformed over the centuries, so that the appearance we admire today is above all the result of the great sixteenth-century renovation.<\/p>\n

In the sixteenth century, between 1539 and 1540, the hall – by then in a state of decay – was restored under the direction of Girolamo Corner, with major architectural and decorative work. The room was enlarged in width and height, and windows were opened on its eastern and western sides, an intervention attributed to the architect Michele Sanmicheli.<\/p>\n

The new decoration completely transformed the space into one of the most spectacular celebratory cycles of sixteenth-century Padua. Along the long walls runs a sequence of 44 monumental figures of kings, emperors, generals and statesmen, while the short walls feature six men of letters, chosen from figures of antiquity and the modern age of particular significance to the history of Padua. It is precisely this succession of monumental figures, set within a theatrical painted architecture, that gave rise to the hall’s popular name, “the Giants.”<\/p>\n

Over the centuries the hall served various functions. During the first two centuries of Venetian rule it was also used as an assembly and gathering place for the troops garrisoning the city, while continuing to maintain ties with university life. From 1632 to 1912 it also housed the first core of the University Library of Padua, before the collection was moved to its new home on Via San Biagio.<\/p>\n

When, in the 1930s, the university decided to build the new home of the Faculty of Letters in Piazza Capitaniato, the Sala dei Giganti thus represented a pre-existing element of exceptional value. Rather than erasing it, Gio Ponti’s design was developed in relation to it: the new palace was built on the site of the pre-existing buildings and integrated with the historic structure, with the hall’s perimeter walls left standing and its pillars reinforced during construction.<\/p>\n

The result is one of the most compelling dialogues in Padua between contemporary architecture and historical heritage: the twentieth century does not replace the past, but builds a new frame around it, allowing different eras, languages and functions to coexist within the same complex.<\/p>\n

\n

The Museum of Archaeological and Art Sciences<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On the third floor of Palazzo Liviano is the home, since 1937, of the University of Padua’s Museum of Archaeological and Art Sciences<\/strong>. Born out of the broader cultural project promoted by Carlo Anti, the museum preserves a rich heritage of ancient and Renaissance sculptures and ceramics, Greek, Etruscan and Roman artefacts, and a valuable collection of casts of classical sculptures.<\/p>\n

The museum’s history is closely tied to that of the Liviano. Ponti’s original design called for a space strongly evocative of antiquity, conceived in dialogue with the university’s archaeological collections. The events of the Second World War and the university’s subsequent transformations, however, gradually reshaped the original layout, leading step by step to the museum spaces we know today.<\/p>\n

The collections allow visitors to move across different cultures and periods, from Egypt and the ancient Mediterranean world to Greek and Roman civilisation, right up to the archaeological evidence connected to the history of Padua itself. The museum is therefore not an isolated element within the palace, but a natural continuation of the cultural project that Carlo Anti and Gio Ponti had envisioned for the Liviano: a place where the study of antiquity would be an integral part of university education.<\/p>\n

\n

The Liviano Library<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In recent times, academic life within Palazzo Liviano has reached an important turning point. On 1 March 2018, the new Library of Sciences of Antiquity, Art and Music Liviano<\/strong> was inaugurated, born from the merger of the Interdepartmental Livy Library and the Library of the History of Visual Arts and Music.<\/p>\n

The project made it possible to overcome the previous fragmentation of specialist collections, bringing together in a single facility holdings dedicated to the Sciences of Antiquity \u2014 from Latin and Greek philology and literature to archaeology \u2014 as well as Byzantine and Modern Greek studies, medieval, modern and contemporary visual arts, manuscript illumination and music. The library is now located in the spaces beneath the Sala dei Giganti and offers students and researchers an extensive collection of books and documents, together with spaces dedicated to study, reading and consultation.<\/p>\n

The history of the library and that of the palace are thus intertwined across the centuries, through transformations that have accompanied the very evolution of the University of Padua.<\/p>\n

\n

Piazza Capitaniato: Where Padua’s History Overlaps<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the most fascinating aspects of the Liviano is its location. Piazza Capitaniato is not simply the place where a university building was erected in the 1930s: it is a space where centuries of the city’s history overlap.<\/p>\n

The Sala dei Giganti preserves the memory of Carrarese and later Venetian Padua, while Palazzo Liviano represents the era of the university’s modernisation under Carlo Anti’s rectorship. Close by are other landmarks essential to the city and to the Studio patavino, in an urban fabric where medieval, Renaissance and twentieth-century buildings all coexist within a few metres of one another.<\/p>\n

It is precisely this layering that makes a visit so rewarding: stepping into the Liviano takes you from contemporary Padua to twentieth-century Padua, from the Sala dei Giganti to the Carrara court, all the way to the archaeological collections that carry you even further back in time. A single building becomes, in a sense, a journey through the history of the city.<\/p>\n

\n

Where to Find It and How to Plan Your Visit<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Palazzo Liviano is located at Piazza Capitaniato 7.<\/p>\n

The Sala dei Giganti, the entrance hall of the Liviano and the Museum of Archaeological and Art Sciences can be visited according to the days, hours and arrangements set by the university. The Sala dei Giganti is open to the public on the occasion of special events, concerts and guided tours, while the university organises dedicated itineraries for exploring the palace, its works of art and its history.<\/p>\n

It is therefore advisable to check the updated calendar and access arrangements on the university’s official website before your visit.<\/p>\n
