Palazzo Rondinini, baroque masterpiece in the heart of Rome

Rome, Roma Italy

Palazzo Rondinini represents a unique opportunity to acquire one of the most important real estate assets in Rome. The building, of seventeenth-century origin, was restored in the 18th century on a project by Valvassori, architect of Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, and has 7,167 square meters of gross area in a privileged position on Via del Corso in Rome.
The building, an emblem of the high rank of the Rondinini marquis, was conceived as a museum residence, in the name of an ideal of life dedicated to art. Crossing the threshold means starting a journey into a fairytale universe starting from the entrance hall and the complex system of vaults that serve as the porch of the vast Court of Honor. The latter, the perfect stage for mythical depictions including bas-reliefs, marble groups and a nymphaeum with a fountain, sees an impressive clock supported by angels in travertine rise in front of it, above a glass loggia.
Starting the ascent through the monumental staircase, from the ground floor to the main floor, you cross rooms with precious marble inlay floors, ceilings with mythological paintings, alcoves, niches and rooms richly decorated with sophisticated architectural friezes. The panoramic terraces offer an unrepeatable and privileged view of Rome. In addition to its remarkable collections of art and artifacts, the Palace was famous for being the place where Michelangelo's 'La Pietà' was hidden for decades in a secret niche.
