Discovering Palazzo Venezia

The Many Stories of VIVE
Guided tour for adults
Sunday, September 27, 2026, at 11:00 a.m.

For many centuries the residence of popes, cardinals, ambassadors, and artists, Palazzo Venezia is an ancient and majestic Renaissance mansion in the heart of Rome. Few buildings in the city—perhaps none at all—embody such a rich heritage of history, art, and culture. Thanks to the narration of our guides, the austere and imposing facades—reminiscent of the walls of an ancient fortress—open up to reveal a complex of loggias, walkways, and gardens filled with rare plants and precious essences, as well as masterpieces from various eras. Visitors are thus transported away from the traffic and guided along a delicate balance between dream and admiration.

The tour takes visitors on a journey that allows them to interpret the palace not only as an extraordinary repository of works of art, but also as a living testament to the transformations that have shaped Rome from the Renaissance to the present day. 

WHERE: Palazzo Venezia, entrance to Palazzo Venezia, Via del Plebiscito, 118
