At the intersection of via Muzzana and via Cardinal De Lai stands the 18th-century Palazzo Corielli, once the property of the eponymous family.
Giuseppe Corielli moved into this building at the end of the 19th century, bringing with him the silk spinning business, which had been started a few years earlier.
Over the years, the spinning mill was expanded with the addition of new buildings; the activity continued until 1962.
Recently, the factory was transformed into a residence, but it still retains its original structure externally.
The facade of the palace on via Cardinal De Lai consists of three floors, on the second of which stands out an 18th-century balustrade.
The rear facade, facing the Livergon stream, is in neoclassical style: four engaged half-columns emerge from the central body, with three arched openings that open onto a gentle ashlar and a triangular tympanum with a pointed opening at the top. There are many stucco decorations, a grand staircase, and stone portals, which testify to the social and economic standing of the owning family.
The palace houses the Museum of Silk and Brick Art and the Permanent Laboratory of Scientific Toys "GiocoScienza".
The museum showcases two of the most important activities for the community of Maladense until the last century: silk and brick production.
Both museums are open to the public on Sundays and holidays from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
