Too good
When in Rome, go here! Amazing!
Schön
Achtung! Nicht verwechseln mit dem Nationalmuseum nahe der Piazza Republica! Die Front am Corso Vitt. Emanuele II. folgt dem ehemaligen Verlauf des Domitian-Stadions und wurde nach 6 eng stehenden dorischen Säulen vor der Front benannt. Hier hatten übrigens 2 Deutsche in der Renaissance die 1. Druckerei in Italien. Heute nicht zugänglich.
Cool
Palazzo Massimo Alle Colonne is one of the masterpieces of Roman' Renaissance designed by Baldassarre Peruzzi in 1532.
The complex blueprint of this palace is one of the main characteristics of this monument representing the genius of Peruzzi.
He, in fact, found complex solutions to organize the interior space, ensuring at the same time excellent lighting conditions and an intimate living space.
The front was realized using an interesting technique, previously used by Bramante, which give it the aspect of a wall of rocks (bugnato).

This private palazzo contains a church, declared to be one and not a chapel by papal decree in 1839. It's dedicated to St Philip Neri, and is open to the public on only one day a year -on 16 March. Allegedly the saint had a brief conversation with a dead son of the family, whose body had been laid out in this room on this date in 1583.
Another impressive sight in Rome.
