Palazzo Altemps: a Rome museum you cannot miss! 😉 

🔸Here’s a hidden gem near Piazza Navona in Rome: Palazzo Altemps!
🔸Palazzo Altemps used to be a noble residential palace. One of its owners was the Cardinal Altemps, which is where its name comes from
🔸The Cardinal Altemps in the 1500s decorated the palace with a lot of beautiful frescoes (have you seen the balcony?? 🤩)
🔸And here he also stored his incredible collection of ancient Roman sculptures
🔸Today we can say Palazzo Altemps is a collection of collections. In fact here we can find not only the Altemps collection, but also the collections of other Roman noble families that through the centuries lost the property of such treasures
🔸Some of our favourite highlights of Palazzo Altemps:
✨the balcony
✨the Suicide Gaul
✨the Gian Ludovisi sarcophagus (so ornate that it looks unreal!)
✨the endless series of ancient divinities statues
✨the fragments of frescoes of the ancient Roman houses
