Palazzo Massimo di Pirro, Renaissance palace in Parione district, Rome, Italy.

The palace features a symmetrical design with a central courtyard and multiple floors adorned with classical architectural elements and stone decorations.

The structure, damaged during the 1527 sack of Rome, was rebuilt in 1530 by architect Giovanni Mangone, a student of Antonio da Sangallo.

The ground floor contained Rome's first printing house, where German printers Sweynheym and Pannartz published Saint Augustine's De civitate Dei in 1467.

The palace stands at 145-151 Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, with its main entrance accessible through a large stone portal facing the street.

The building's name originates from a statue of Mars found during construction, mistakenly identified as Pyrrhus, the ancient king of Epirus.

Location: Municipio I

Architects: Giovanni Mangone
