*Cornazzani Palace
The palace belonged to the noble Cornazzani family and was built in the 15th century, incorporating remains of earlier buildings, in late Gothic style. The building had originally been owned by the aristocratic Beccaria family and passed to the Cornazzani family in the 16th century by marriage; the Cornazzani were a lineage of Parma origin who long served first Filippo Maria Visconti and then the Sforza family, thus obtaining Milanese citizenship, and of whom a branch settled in Pavia. Prominent figures often stayed in the house, such as the governor of Milan Antonio de Guzmán or Cardinal Michele Bonelli, who apparently stayed more than a year in the Pavia palace. Ugo Foscolo also resided there, in the company of his friend Giulio Gabrielli di Montevecchio, during the years when he was a university professor in Pavia, which is why the palace is also called "Casa del Foscolo" today; later the street where the palace is located was named after the famous poet. Later the building was inhabited, at different times, by Professor Contardo Ferrini, the poetess Ada Negri and a young Albert Einstein; the latter stayed there with his family between 1895 and 1896, a period when his father Hermann ran a factory producing electric machines in Pavia

The palace is structured on two courtyards: the first, dating from the 15th century, has a late Gothic appearance, with a portico equipped with typical octagonal granite columns, very common in Lombard construction of the period, and enriched with numerous frescoes. The north side of the portico retains a Gothic-style loggia, supported on the balcony by wooden columns. The second, where the Cornazzani coat of arms is frescoed in the lunettes, was added during the 17th century. On the facade, plastered in modern times, is a 15th-century terracotta tile depicting the Nativity. Inside it preserves rich 15th-century coffered ceilings, Baroque frescoes and a neoclassical wing
