Highlights
  • Museo Nazionale Romano - Palazzo Altemps - An aristocratic mansion that was already home in the 16th century to a rich collection of classical sculpture in a magnificent architectural setting, Palazzo Altemps is now one of the sites of the National Roman Museum, specifically dedicated to the history of art collecting. Located in Campo Marzio, a few steps from Piazza Navona and close to the left bank of the Tiber, the original core of the palazzo was built in the 15th century by order of Girolamo Riario, Lord of Imola, the ambitious nephew of Pope Sixtus IV. The building was then purchased in 1568 by Cardinal Marco Sittico Altemps, the Austrian nephew of Pope Pius IV. He installed his magnificent collection of antiquities and his precious library of rare books. The Altemps family remained in the palazzo for some time, until the mid-19th century. At the end of the century, the building was sold to the Holy See. 1982 saw the initial steps by the Italian Government to acquire the Palazzo Altemps.
