Palazzo Chigi of Ariccia, Baroque palace and Roman museum in Ariccia, Italy
The five-story palace features angular towers, a simple facade with a balustrade balcony, and ornate interior rooms filled with period furnishings and decorations.
Cardinal Flavio Chigi acquired the medieval Savelli stronghold in 1661 and commissioned Gian Lorenzo Bernini to transform it into a grand residence between 1664 and 1672.
The Museum of Roman Baroque displays paintings from 1600 to 1700, including works by Mattia Preti, Pietro da Cortona, and the Four Seasons by Mario de' Fiori.
The wheelchair-accessible palace opens daily for guided tours, allowing visitors to explore the preserved historical apartments, art collections, and decorated chambers.
The palace retains its original gilt-leather wall coverings and houses preparatory sketches for the mosaics of Saint Peter's Basilica by Cavalier d'Arpino.
