ROME
Palaces
Farnese Palace (Piazza Farnese)
This is one of the most beautiful Renaissance palaces of Rome. Begun in 1514 by Antonio da Sanagallo the Younger for Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, the future Pope Paul III, it was continued in 1546 by Michaelangelo, who was responsible for the side wings, large windows, frontal cornices, and the two superior rows of columns in the courtyard. Finally, it was completed by Giacomo della Porta in 1589. Since 1871 the palace has housed the French Ambassador. |
