Palazzo Lucarini was built in the second half of the 15th century, absorbing a small medieval district of Trevi. The Lucarini family was one of the most illustrious in the city and Virgilio Lucarini was undoubtedly the most important person: he left his fortune in Trevi and Rome to be used to build a college for young people who wanted to set their sights on studying law and medicine. The college was housed in the palazzo until 1832, after which it was transferred to Palazzo Valenti and then finally to the convent of San Francesco.
The building has a 16th-century portal – arched and with architraves – which bears the coats of arms of the Lucarini and Valenti families; there is another from the 17th century, together with several windows dating back to the same period. Today Palazzo Lucarini belongs to the Municipality of Trevi and is used in part for residential purposes and in part as the headquarters of the Centre for Contemporary Art of the non-profit Cultural Association ‘Palazzo Lucarini Contemporary’.
