I love trivia on titles I've never heard about before, you made me research one of the names and came up with the Corigliano Palace that is not only a restored museum but also offers classes



and other views of the palace and exteriors:

 
Thank you very much ROYALHISTORIAN for providing me with these answers. It is sometimes very difficult to find the right answers when sources aren't complete or even contradict eachother. This way I can at least complete my search for these names and titles.
