been built from the 1722 to 1732 delimiting the wide space of Quirinale Square,
in which different architectural buildings are admirable for style and period.

given to the Municipality of Roma to be used as a centre for exposition events.

works and marbles collections. In this Palace you will admire – among the
others-, some pictures of Caravaggio, the portrait of Paolina Bonaparte Borghese
executed by Canova, the Deposition of Raffaello and the very important Danae of
Correggio as also Bernini’s sculptures.
