Molto bello da fuori; sfortunatamente non si può accedere né alle scale interne né alle sale del primo piano!
Very nice from the outside; unfortunately you can not access either the internal stairs or the first floor rooms!

Palazzo Bernardini fu costruito tra il 1517 e il 1523. Questo palazzo conserva uno stranissimo particilare. Guardando a destra del portone, sulla prima finestra, si trova la famigerata "pietra del diavolo" uno degi stipiti di pietra è innaturalmente incurvato! A osservarla da lontano, la curvatura è talmente accentuata da farla sembrare addirittura finta, come fatata, di legno o di altro materiale malleabile, ma ad avvicinarsi e a toccarla non vi è dubbio che sia di pietra e che presenti davvero una forma anomala. L'origine di questa pietra deriva da una leggenda. Si dice che il diavolo convinse i signori Bernardini a costruire un palazzo imperiale laddove si trovava un'immagine miracolosa della Madonna, che era particolarmente venerata in città. L'immagine fu così distrutta per dar posto all'edificio, ma, proprio lì dove un tempo si trovava, la pietra si incurvò e tale vi restò fino ad oggi, nonostante i disperati tentativi di riportarla diritta. Fu tentato di tutto, venne persino utilizzata una struttura di ferro, rivelandosi anch'essa totalemente inutile!
Palazzo Bernardini was built between 1517 and 1523. This palace preserves a very strange detail. Looking to the right of the door, on the first window, is the infamous "devil's stone", one of the stone jambs is unnaturally curved! To observe it from afar, the curvature is so accentuated as to make it look even fake, like a fairy, of wood or other malleable material, but to approach it and touch it there is no doubt that it is made of stone and that it really presents an abnormal shape. The origin of this stone comes from a legend. It is said that the devil convinced the Bernardines to build an imperial palace where there was a miraculous image of the Madonna, which was particularly revered in the city. The image was thus destroyed to give place to the building, but, right there where it once was, the stone curved and remained so until today, despite the desperate attempts to bring it back straight. Everything was tempted, an iron structure was even used, revealing itself totally useless!

Piccolo e curato, accoglienza ottima e stanze molto particolari. Un ricordo unico nel centro storico di una bellissima città. Un pelo rumoroso al mattino al brulicare di scolaresche in gita.
Small and well-kept, with excellent hospitality and very special rooms. A unique memory in the historic center of a beautiful city. A noisy hair in the morning to the swarm of school groups on an excursion.

The devil's stone is the rock that pops out on the window at the ground floor. It is said the devil made mr bernardini demolish a church to build his palace, and the palace was cursed for this. The window is the devil's signature that even if fixed springs back out.
