Palazzo Fusconi-Pighini

Palazzo Fusconi-Pighini, Renaissance palace in Piazza Farnese, Rome, Italy.

Palazzo Fusconi-Pighini is a Renaissance palace on the edge of Piazza Farnese in Rome's Regola district. Its stone facade is organized in regularly spaced windows across several floors, and the building currently serves as a diplomatic residence.

The palace was built in 1524 under architect Baldassare Peruzzi, during a period when central Rome was being reshaped by wealthy families and papal patrons. In 1705 a ceremonial staircase was added, which changed the internal layout considerably from its original form.

The palace is also called Palazzo del Gallo di Roccagiovine, after the family that acquired it through Anna Curti Lepri's dowry. In the 19th century Princess Giulia Bonaparte, wife of Alessandro di Roccagiovine, held a literary salon here that drew intellectuals, artists and young Grand Tour travellers. The Del Gallo di Roccagiovine descendants still own and live in the building.

The building is easy to spot from Piazza Farnese and is best seen on foot while walking through the square. Since it functions as a diplomatic residence, the interior is not open to the public, but the exterior can be viewed freely at any time.

The Pighini collection included Meleager and the Calydon Boar, a Roman copy of a Greek original attributed to Skopas. Ulisse Aldrovandi found the statue in a vineyard outside Porta Portese; it is now in the Museo Pio-Clementino in the Vatican.
