Notes
Historic palace located 50 miles north of Rome.
In the 1300s, the Apostolic Camera considered the fortress essential for the protection of Rome. In the 16th century, the original austere fortress, with its quadrilateral plan and corner towers, was transformed into a luxurious noble palace rich in rooms filled with art and history. Most of the palace’s finishes are the work of the architect Carlo Fontana, while the renovation is attributed to the designs of Giacomo della Porta.
There is bridge that connects the village to the fortress, protected by a deep moat. The large portal is topped with a family crest and leads into a garden, flanked on three sides by the intricate façades of the palace. The main façade is animated by a double flight of stairs with a central nymphaeum fountain. The dramatic staircase leads to the first floor of the palace, where a majestic loggia serves as a gallery for the antiquarian collection amassed over the centuries.The other two façades also feature loggias enriched with art collections.
The garden features carefully selected plant species are displayed harmoniously among archaeological artifacts, creating a fusion of flora and ruins.
