Palazzo Massimo istoriato, Renaissance palace near Piazza Navona, Rome, Italy.
The facade of Palazzo Massimo istoriato displays narrative frescoes from antiquity, executed during the 16th century to mark Angelo Massimo's wedding celebration.
The palace sustained damage during the 1527 Sack of Rome and underwent reconstruction after 1532 under architect Giovanni Mangone, a student of Antonio da Sangallo.
The ground floor housed one of Rome's first printing workshops, where German printers Schweynheym and Pannartz produced 12,475 volumes between 1467 and 1473.
The building stands on the foundations of Domitian's Odeon, with a recovered monolithic column now displayed in a small square behind Piazza Navona.
The palace received its name from a statue of Mars discovered during excavations, which people incorrectly identified as depicting Pyrrhus, the defeated king of Epirus.
