★ ★ ★ ★ ★ La volontà di ostentazione della propria ricchezza da parte del mercante Giovanni Boniforte da Concorezzo ci ha lasciato questo piccolo gioiello di metà del '400.
Pur essendo ormai invisibili le antiche decorazioni in rosso ed oro che dovevano mostrarne già di lontano la posizione, la casa è molto interessante da vedere per le decorazioni che segnalavano ai passanti le merci cui il mercante doveva la sua fortuna.
 The willingness of the merchant Giovanni Boniforte da Concorezzo to show off his wealth left us this little jewel of the mid-15th century.
Although the ancient decorations in red and gold that had to show their position from afar are now invisible, the house is very interesting to see for the decorations that signaled to passers-by the goods to which the merchant owed his fortune.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Peccato che sia tenuta così male e che non sia stato fatto un restauro per rimettere le piccole foglie dorate che distinguevano la casa fin da lontano. L'edificio fu edificato su committenza di un ricco mercante di tessuti, Giovanni Boniforte da Concorezzo, che si stabilì in città nel 1455, al tempo in cui Mantova era governata da Ludovico terzo Gonzaga. Boniforte era anche fornitore della corte gonzaghesca ed aveva sposato una certa Bartolomea Gonzaga.
Too bad that it is so badly kept and that a restoration has not been done to put back the small golden leaves that distinguished the house from afar. The building was commissioned by a wealthy textile merchant, Giovanni Boniforte da Concorezzo, who settled in the city in 1455, at the time when Mantua was ruled by Ludovico Terzo Gonzaga. Boniforte was also a supplier to the Gonzaga court and had married a certain Bartolomea Gonzaga.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ome of the cosiest square I've seen in Italy. More intimate than the equivalent in Verona or Vicenza.
