Palazzetto Zuccari, Artist's house in Monti district, Rome, Italy
The palazzo stands at the intersection of Via Sistina and Via Gregoriana, featuring decorated windows and doors shaped like monster faces on its exterior walls.
Federico Zuccari purchased land near Trinità dei Monti in 1590 and constructed this residence on the remnants of the ancient Gardens of Lucullus.
The palace housed Queen Marie Casimire Louise of Poland in 1702, who established a theater for musical performances by composer Domenico Scarlatti.
The building now contains the Bibliotheca Hertziana, a research institution focusing on Italian art history, managed by the Max Planck Society since 1912.
The entrance on Via Gregoriana displays stone-carved monster mouths framing doors and windows, leading to its designation as the House of Monsters.
