Inscription. L'attuale Palazzo Incontro venne edificato su un'arca di proprietà dell'Ospedale di S. Maria della Pietà dei Poveri Pazzi nella seconda metà del Settecento sotto la supervisione dell'architetto G.P. Burij.

Dopo lungo abbandono l'Amministrazione Gasbarra lo ha restituito ai cittadini il 27 ottobre 2006, destinandolo ad iniziative culturali, artistiche, sociali e istituzionali di carattere nazionale ed internazionale.
