It is said that Giacomo Mazzolà, father of that Domenico who came to live in Longarone to look after the interests of the family that had rented some woods, had decided to build this palace to "figure" like the other noble families of the time and to show a high standard of living towards the woman that the son would later marry.
The dignified and elegant palace seems to have been started in 1736; already in 1741 the Mazzolà family lived there, while it is believed that the date reported on the mezzanine floor, 1747, is that of the final completion of the building.
The palace is the only building of 1700 whose style recalls the manor villas of the time. The building has a rectangular plan; the basement occupies only about half of the plant surface, probably because it rests on a rock ridge. A three-ramp staircase (rebuilt in the 1960s because damaged by the catastrophe) in red stone of Castellavazzo leads to the main entrance of the mezzanine floor.
The large living room has walls and ceiling decorated with marble surfaces of different colors and design; to the side of the same there is a central staircase, with a portal stone of Castellavazzo gray-pink finely worked.
The living room on the first floor is the most prestigious and elegant of the building for its walls completely decorated with stucco that originally framed large paintings; the ceiling is made of exposed beams; the three large windows give access to the balcony. The second floor has less interest for its finishes, the almost lack of decorations and stucco. The attic is only accessible via a hatch.
The historic building, while showing a good state of conservation thanks to the continuous maintenance carried out by the municipalities over the two centuries, has undergone a restoration (completed in 1999) which led to the elimination of the compromises suffered over time.
It was a duty for Longarone to restore decorum and dignity to this precious building, in which so much history of our country is identified.
