Palazzo Mancini, Baroque palazzo on Via del Corso, Rome, Italy.

The palace exhibits a French Baroque facade with four columns at the portal, supporting a long balcony and multiple decorated window arrangements.

Construction started in 1634 when Lorenzo Mancini married Geronima Mazzarino, with architect Carlo Rainaldi completing the design between 1687 and 1689.

From 1725 to 1793, the palace served as the French Academy in Rome, hosting numerous artists who studied and created works within its walls.

The building currently functions as a bank establishment, with the former courtyard transformed into a banking hall at Via del Corso 270/272.

The second floor contains frescoes reproducing scenes from the Raphael Rooms of the Vatican Palace, created by resident academy artists.
