Rome's Grand Restoration: Palazzo Farnese Under the Spotlight

Delve into the transformation of Rome's Palazzo Farnese - a High Renaissance masterpiece brought back to life through a historical restoration.

Palazzo Farnese, a resplendent palace in Rome, has been a prized possession of the French Embassy in Italy since 1874. Initially created by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger in 1517, this majestic structure served as a testament to Italian Renaissance and early Baroque architecture. Undergoing a five-year restoration, supervised by the French Embassy in Italy, École française de Rome, and Italian heritage authorities, the palace has regained its original splendor.
