PALAZZO COSENTINI
First baroque style palace decorated with sculptures of animals, monsters and provocative caricatures.
The first palace in Ragusa was built in Baroque style, whose balcony consoles are decorated with sculptures of animals, monsters and provocative caricatures. The figures "i mascaruna i l'Archi" have always struck the popular imagination. Five grotesque masks hold symbolic animals in their mouths, such as the snake and the scorpion, dominated by allegorical figures of abundance: women with big breasts and men holding horns of plenty full of fruit, alluding to the wealth of the owners.
