The Renaissance at Palazzo Venezia

Palazzo Venezia is a symbolic site of the Roman Renaissance, known for its architectural forms inspired by the work of Leon Battista Alberti, its sculptural and pictorial decorations—such as the frescoes of the Room of the Labors of Hercules—and the great historical figures who have crossed its threshold. The visit is a stroll through the Rome of that era: crossing the halls of the palace, the collecting passion of Pope Paul II, the popular celebrations for the carnival, and the visits of Europe's great intellectuals—from Pietro Bembo to Erasmus of Rotterdam—to the extraordinary library of Cardinal Domenico Grimani will take shape before our eyes.
