Palazzo Capilupi, Renaissance palazzo in Campo Marzio, Rome, Italy.

The palazzo stands on Via dei Prefetti with additional entrances on Vicolo Rosini and Vicolo Valdina, featuring Renaissance architectural elements throughout the structure.

Bishop Ippolito Capilupi purchased this residence from the Degli Stazii family in 1534 during his visit to Rome for Charles V's coronation ceremony.

The building contained a substantial art collection that represented the Mantuan aristocratic taste before its transfer to the Capilupi family estate in Mantua.

Visitors can observe the commemorative plaque at 17 Via dei Prefetti marking the location of a historical fountain that once depicted the Capitoline Wolf.

Samuel Morse, inventor of the telegraph, lived in this palazzo from February 1830 to January 1831, as documented by a plaque on the facade.
