The palace, located in the city center in the immediate vicinity of the most suggestive places in Udine, is a construction of sober elegance that combines the characteristics of noble palaces and at the same time those of the manor houses of the Friuli province.
Once the door is opened, you find yourself in a portico of unusual size, a truly suggestive “small square” with unplastered walls (which leave the cobblestones or large construction stones exposed) and a beamed ceiling. On the right wall hangs a fresco, attributed to Gaspare Negro, detached from a house in Mercatonuovo in the 1930s and brought here. It is a valuable composition, executed according to the style of the people of Udine influenced by Pordenone and datable to around 1540.
Further on, a stone granary mask seems to remind us of the expanses of fields that once surrounded the palace (the “vast estate” mentioned by Rota in 1847), the landed properties of the owners of the house and the agricultural life that took place in the little houses – still owned by Orgnani – of which there remains a memory in a drawing from 1824.
