Palazzo Grazioli, Renaissance palazzo in Via del Plebiscito, Rome, Italy
Palazzo Grazioli is a three-story Renaissance building on Via del Plebiscito between Palazzo Doria Pamphilj and Palazzo Altieri. The facade displays decorative pilasters and granite Doric columns with continuous horizontal cornices.
Giacomo della Porta built the residence in the 16th century for the Ercolani family. Camillo Arcucci carried out extensive renovations between 1645 and 1650, giving the building its current appearance.
The palace is named after the Grazioli family, who bought it in the 19th century. Vincenzo Grazioli rose from renting mills on the Tiber to becoming a baker, landowner, Baron of Castelporziano in 1832 and Duke of Santa Croce di Magliano in 1851. His son Pio married Donna Caterina Lante Montefeltro della Rovere in 1847, adding her name to the family's.
The palace stands at Via del Plebiscito 102, between Palazzo Doria Pamphilj and Palazzo Altieri, in the Campo Marzio area. The entrance on Via del Plebiscito is flanked by two grey granite Doric columns and topped by a balcony. Since 2024 the building has housed the foreign press association.
The palace's basement housed RED TV, originally Nessuno TV, a digital channel chaired by Massimo D'Alema, from 2008 until its bankruptcy in 2011; Silvio Berlusconi then rented the space too. Since 2024 the building has hosted the foreign press association.
