Palazzo Brancaccio, Noble palace in Merulana Street, Rome, Italy
The palace features grand reception halls adorned with mirrors, tapestries, and intricate decorations, reflecting the luxurious tastes of Italian aristocracy.
Constructed between 1886 and 1912 by architect Luca Carimini for American heiress Mary Elisabeth Field, who married Prince Salvatore Brancaccio of Naples.
The building housed the National Museum of Oriental Art until 2017, displaying extensive collections across its 1,700 square meters of exhibition space.
Different sections of the palace serve varied purposes, from Vatican-managed reception halls for events to the Teatro Brancaccio theater in one corner.
The structure reportedly incorporates Mecenas Tower, from which Emperor Nero observed the burning of Rome according to historical accounts.
