Exclusive: Palazzo Colonna and the Princess’s Apartments

Treat yourself to exclusive access to Colonna Palace — the Palazzo Colonna, an exquisite architectural timeline of Italian art styles and built upon foundations existing since before the 12th century. The sprawling estate is best known for its exhibits of Baroque art, from the architecture to the frescoes and individual paintings contributed by the greatest Baroque artists in history, including Salvator Rosa, Pinturicchio and Tintoretto, to name only the tip of the iceberg. It has been occupied by the enduring Colonna family since the 1300s and remains their home even today.

Marvel at the apartments of Princess Isabelle, normally off-limits to the public and perfectly maintained in the state in which its eponymous occupant left it. Inside, you will be able to appreciate the splendor of Roman nobility. Princess Isabelle’s wing of the palace, one of the older structures in the estate, showcases stunning frescoes and landscape paintings by renowned 16th century artists unavailable for view anywhere else. Enjoy a luxurious and informative tour through rooms that hosted dinner parties of the Roman social elite, steeped in centuries of ancestral memory.
