The Palazzo Liviano is a twentieth-century university building in Padua, Italy, designed by Gio Ponti in the rationalist style and protected as Italian national heritage. It incorporates the remains of the Capitanio palace, the seat of one of the two Venetian captains who ruled Padua, and stands on the western side of Piazza Capitaniato, an old courtyard of the Carrara Palace. Named after the historian Livy, it houses the School of Humanities, Social and Cultural Heritage, and it is connected to the Giants Room, an ancient frescoed hall now used for concerts and conferences.
