Palazzo Nuovo – Giuliani-Marcabruni
Count Francesco, father of Andrea Odorico, from whom the two great branches of the Arco family descend, was the first count to want a palace in the village and chose the square.
Palazzo Nuovo or “Domus Nova” is the name he gave him; the building is named in a document of 1462, its arcades, which are not those we see now, were used as a place of public judgment or meeting, under public arcades were posted and read public tenders. On a corner of the building a stone was placed to indicate the boundary between the two counties in which Arco was divided in 1512. After Francesco it was owned by Odorico and Geronimo D’Arco, then in 1752 the latter ceded it to Dr. Saverio Marcabruni who he started the renovation work. They built porches with a balcony above and the adaptation of the ground floor for the construction of shops. Today the Giuliani-Marcabruni palace has an internal courtyard with internal stone balconies, the southern portal bears the oldest version of the Arco counts coat of arms.
