Palazzo del Monte di Pietà, Renaissance banking palace in Rione Regola, Italy
The Palazzo del Monte di Pietà features two grand portals intersected by a fountain, with an ornate aedicule and papal coats of arms adorning its facade.
Cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini commissioned Carlo Maderno to expand the palace between 1604 and 1613, transforming it into a central financial institution for Rome.
The palace's chapel displays intricate Baroque artistry through polychrome marble, gilded stucco, and white statues that demonstrate 18th-century Roman craftsmanship.
The building continues to serve as a pawnbroker institution, maintaining its original purpose of providing financial assistance to Roman citizens.
The palace's clock tower gained notoriety for its perpetual inaccuracy, attributed to a disgruntled watchmaker who allegedly sabotaged the mechanism in protest.
