The palace belonged to noble Friulian families and, in the early 20th century, it was transformed into an educational institution by Count Francesco di Toppo.

The palace, granted to the University of Udine in 2002, now serves as the School's headquarters.
In the video found on this page, you can take a virtual tour of its premises.

The residence is located in a separate section of the palace, where students have access to bright and quiet rooms, common areas for leisure time, and study halls.
