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

The Palazzo Fusconi-Pighini features a stone facade with proportioned windows arranged across multiple levels of the Renaissance structure.

Built in 1524 under architect Baldassare Peruzzi's direction, the palace underwent expansion in 1705 when Alessandro Specchi added a ceremonial staircase.

The palace housed an extensive collection of ancient Roman statuary, including the notable Meleager statue now displayed in the Vatican's Museo Pio-Clementino.

Located at number 44 Piazza Farnese in central Rome's Regola district, the building currently functions as the Embassy of Cyprus.

The palace demonstrates the architectural transition between early and high Renaissance styles through its balanced composition and spatial organization.
