Palazzo de Carolis, Baroque palazzo in Via del Corso, Rome, Italy
Description
Palazzo de Carolis is a three-story Baroque building on Via del Corso with a symmetrical facade and carefully crafted entrance area. The structure displays refined architectural details and precise proportioning in its window placement and overall composition.
History
The palace was designed by architect Alessandro Specchi and built between 1714 and 1724 for a wealthy merchant. Its construction reflects the prosperity of early 18th century Rome and the importance of its location on a major city street.
Culture
The artworks displayed in the interior belong to the Unicredit Banca di Roma collection, featuring pieces by both Italian and international artists. This mix shows how the building bridges its historical role with contemporary cultural expression.
Practical
The building now serves as headquarters for a major bank and is not regularly open to the public. Visitors can admire the impressive facade from the street and observe the refined details of the entrance area.
Did you know?
The original spiral staircase designed by Specchi remains inside and features paired Doric columns adorning its ascent. This hidden architectural feature is often overlooked by visitors who only see the public facade.
