The Penotti Ubertini Palace is situated
in the middle of the Medieval town of Orta San Giulio. You
can find it on the left side of the ascend from the central
Square of Orta. It has a imposing façade: two balconies
in the central part of the building, an imposing entrance
door where in the past carriages and horses would transit.
The building of the palace was commissioned by Paolo Gemelli
at the beginning of the '700 and the palace was finished
in 1747. The heir of the palace was the family De Forte,
that they escape the Napoleonic invasion from Venice. The
palace was never sold, but was inherited by the family Penotti,
from the Lake Orta and important lawyers and notaries. Subsequently
the palace was inherited by the Ubertini's family who are
still the owners.
