The Besenghi degli Ughi Palace in Izola, built between 1775 and 1781 for Pasquale (II) Besenghi degli Ughi, is the most sumptuous city palace along the Slovenian Coastline. It is decorated with rich rococo stuccoworks. Despite their poor quality in general, icono- graphically the most outstanding are the stuccoworks in the side salon, which present personifications based on Cesare Ripa’s Iconologia. The depicted motifs may refer to the ideals to which the humanistically educated commissioner aspired. The stuccoworks in the church of St. Mary of Alieto in Izola and the other in the parish church of St. Michael in Lokev can be attributed to the same master(s). There are stylistic links with the stuccoworks in the Koper Cathedral, made by the Schiavi workshop in the mid-18th century.
