Palazzo Colonna in Rome, is one of the largest and oldest palaces in the city, built in the 14th century by the Colonna family who has been residing there permanently for eight centuries.

The same family takes its name from the town of Colonna near the Capital.

The construction of the various wings of Galleria Colonna lasted for five centuries, resulting in the overlapping of different architectural styles, both exterior and interior, which characterize it and reflect the different eras to which it belongs.

During the 1600s, Palazzo Colonna takes on the appearance of a grand Baroque palace at the behest of three generations of the family, whose main figures are Filippo I, Cardinal Girolamo I, and Lorenzo Onofrio, who rely on architects and artists of great expertise and renown. They indeed sought advice from Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Antonio del Grande, Carlo Fontana, Paolo Schor, and many others.

Also from this period is the construction of the splendid and majestic Galleria Colonna, which overlooks Via IV novembre for 76 meters; an authentic jewel of Roman Baroque, it is now open to the public, featuring the most representative and artistically valuable apartments of the Palace, housing the family's Art Collections, notified and bound by the entail of 1800, where one can admire masterpieces of absolute excellence created by the greatest Italian and foreign artists between the 15th and 16th centuries.

Among the many, Pinturicchio, Cosmè Tura, Bronzino, Carracci, Veronese, Guido Reni, Salvator Rosa, Guercino, Vanvitelli and many others.
