Palazzo Sciarra Colonna di Carbognano, Renaissance palace in Colonna district, Italy.
Palazzo Sciarra Colonna di Carbognano is a Renaissance palace in the Colonna district featuring a monumental facade on Via del Corso. The entrance is framed by two fluted columns that support a first-floor balcony with dressed ashlar stonework.
The building was created in 1610 by merging two separate structures under architect Flaminio Ponzio's direction for the Colonna di Sciarra family. This combination produced a unified palace along one of Rome's major thoroughfares.
The interior walls display frescoes by Giuseppe Cellini that show women's virtues through everyday scenes rendered in the Art Nouveau style. This artistic decoration shapes how visitors experience the rooms today.
The building now houses the Rome Foundation headquarters at Via del Corso 239 in central Rome's location. Its position near the Trevi Fountain makes it easily accessible by public transportation.
The entrance portal was sculpted from a single piece of marble and ranks among Rome's four wonders. This remarkable architectural feat draws attention from scholars and curious visitors alike.
