This ancient palace overlooks Piazza della Repubblica on one side and Via XX Settembre on the other; it was built in 1796 and has always belonged to the David family. The last descendant, daughter of Placido David (first mayor of Sogliano), recently sold the property to the municipal administration. The building owes its notoriety to the fact that it housed the poet Giovanni Pascoli, at the home of his cousin Emilio David, son of his maternal aunt Rita Vincenzi David. The poet is remembered in his overlooking among the geraniums of the small balcony overlooking XX Settembre Street. Pascoli’s sisters Ida and Maria lived from 1874 to 1882 in the boarding school attached to the Augustinian Monastery. The building has three above-ground levels on Republic Square and five on Via XX Settembre. It consists of a total of fourteen rooms. The 18th-century layout was heavily remodeled in the 1930s, when the building was also the representative residence of the mayor. It was adapted to the taste of the time and equipped with some comforts (first coal-fired heating system in the country). Currently the building houses some municipal offices.
