Borghese Palace (Piazza Borghese)
Known by the name "Cembalo" ("harpsicord") because of its strange shape, it was begun in 1560 according to the design of Vignola for Cardinal Borghese, who became Pope Paul V in 1605. The works were finished by Flaminio Ponzio at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Until 1891 it contained the art collection of Cardinal Borghese, now exposed in the Borghese Gallery (see chart). |
