This large partly constructed palace is located on the banks of the River Po in the city of Piacenza in Northern Italy. Ottavio Farnese inherited the Duchy of Parma from his father Pier Luigi Farnese, who was assassinated in a coup in 1547. In the aftermath of the assassination Spanish troops under the command of Ferrate Gonzaga occupied both Parma and Piacenza, however, Ottavio didn’t rescind his claim to the duchy and, in 1551, was able to retake Parma with the help of the King of France Henry II of France, nonetheless Piacenza remained in Spanish hands until 1557 when, after the abdications of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, both Margaret and Ottavio traveled to Brussels to meet Philip II of Spain who negotiated an agreement which made the duchy a Spanish fief and allowed Piacenza back to the Farnese family .
