Il castello Farnese è un castello medievale situato a Roma in zona Isola Farnese. It was built by the Orsini family in the 13th century and later passed to the Farnese in the 16th century.
In 1567, Cardinal Alessandro Farnese acquired the property for 16,500 scudi. He commissioned the architect Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola to design the current form of the palace, which dates back to the Late Middle Ages.
The property was later ceded to the Apostolic Camera on December 19, 1649, as part of a settlement involving the assets and rights of a territory. It eventually passed to Maria Anna di Savoia in 1806 and then to Maria Cristina di Borbone-Due Sicilie in 1824.
In 1949, the property was inherited by Teresa Cristina. A few years before 1892, the castle was sold to the Ferraioli family. It was subsequently acquired by the Di Robilant family on March 31, 1961, following a 1939 holographic will.
