THE PALACE: Palazzo Barberini in Rome hosts the Ancient Art Gallery of Rome with extraordinary masterpieces of Italian and International painting. The palace is in Via delle Quattro Fontane in Rome. The architect Carlo Moderno made the project behind an assignment of Barberini family who wanted a sumptuous residence in Rome, as the cardinal Maffeo Barberini ascended to the Pontificate. At his death, Carlo Moderno was replaced by Lorenzo Bernini who took the direction of the works for the building of the palace. Just the building itself does worth a visit because of its important architecture. Pietro da Cortona made the fresco of the main hall, where part of the collection is. The illusionistic effect of this fresco enhances the monumentality of the space and starts the period of the baroque decoration.
