The view stretches across vibrant Piazza Sant\u2019Oronzo, the Roman Amphitheatre, the column of the patron saint and the Duomo\u2019s bell tower.\u00a0<\/p><p>Beyond, the horizon opens to new perspectives and so much more that cannot be told, only lived.\u00a0<\/p><p>Abalto\u2019s roots reach back to the 19th century, when Palazzo Flaminio stood here, home to three generations of the family. An elegant Baroque palace overlooking the lively square, already the focal point of the city\u2019s cultural and economic life.\u00a0<\/p><p>In the second half of the 20th century, the palace gave way to the current rationalist building.<\/p><p>For many years, the penthouse remained silent &#8211; until 2020, when it was brought back to life.\u00a0<\/p><p>After a respectful restoration, Federica and Marco, the family\u2019s fourth generation, transformed this place of memory into a space of hospitality, honoring its past while embracing a contemporary vision.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-adb1440 sezione e-flex e-con-boxed e-con
