Palazzo Mincuzzi

The Palazzo Mincuzzi in Bari is a historic building constructed between 1926 and 1928 by the architect Aldo Forcignanò and the engineer Gaetano Palmiotto. Built on the initiative of the Mincuzzi family, who owned the department store of the same name, the structure originally served as a commercial building. Its grand inauguration in October 1928, attended by numerous local dignitaries, quickly made the palace an important symbol of the city's commerce. A representative example of early 20th-century commercial architecture, the building stands out for its late Eclecticism, marked by lavish ornamentation and a striking corner dome.
