This is one of the most important architectural complexes of the private Foligno eighteenth-century, current offices of the Tournament of the Quintana.

Built from 1780 and 1797 by Brunetti, the building is the result of a renovation done by architect Foligno Philip Blacks. The previous construction are some local basements and inscriptions on the lintels of two doors along the current input, referring to the seventeenth century. The palace became the property of Candiotti first and then to become Regazzoni, from 1918, property of the City.

The building is on three floors and an attic. The main floor features the decorative trim more complex. Here are the first, the second and the third room of Agar, Dawn and the dining room of Erminia, the central hall, which develops the highest decoration of the building development (mosaics on a golden background, vertical strips, riquadrature, trophies of arms, musical instruments, canvas with fantastic views and, on time, a complex scene is not yet understood), the Hall of Triumph of Love and the adjacent hall of Orpheus.

The authors of this vast complex pictorial and scenic, that elegantly combines the use of tempera on the wall and that of oil on canvas, is not attested by any source, but Vittorio Casale, the art historian who has studied these cycles of paintings, forward two proposals: Bottazzi and Thomas as a decorator Pizzoni Foligno Francis as the author of paintings.

The lunettes of the porch inscriptions remind the living of Umberto I (1899) and other princes of the House of Savoy and the historical event of the signing of the Armistice (18 February 1801) between republican France and the kingdom of Naples.

Today is the seat of Ente Giostra della Quintana in Foligno.
