{"id":657,"count":4,"description":"[caption id=\"attachment_4526\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]\"Villa<\/a> Villa Borghese[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe palaces of Rome<\/strong> reflect the prestige and power of the great families who shaped the history of the city. Far from being mere residences, they were places of political and social representation, and showcases of art and architecture.\r\n\r\nSome have medieval origins, but it was above all during the Renaissance<\/strong> that Rome experienced the flourishing of its most remarkable residences, inspired by Antiquity and embellished by the greatest artists. The Palazzo Farnese<\/strong> (seat of the French Embassy), the Quirinal Palace<\/strong> (seat of the Italian Presidency), the residences of the Colonna<\/strong> family (housing a gallery), the Pamphilj<\/strong> family (also housing a gallery), the Corsini<\/strong><\/a> family (home to a museum), and the Villa Farnesina<\/strong>, are among the most emblematic.\r\n\r\nCommissioned by popes, cardinals, or powerful families, these palaces were entrusted to architects such as Michelangelo, Bernini, or Borromini, and decorated with monumental frescoes by Raphael or Pietro da Cortona.\r\nToday, many of them house museums<\/strong>, art galleries<\/strong>, embassies<\/strong>, or public institutions<\/strong>, thus continuing their role at the heart of Roman life.\r\nHere is a selection of nearly fifty of the most emblematic palaces.\r\n\r\n[su_accordion class=\"\"]\r\n[su_spoiler title=\"Palaces *** \" open=\"no\" style=\"default\" icon=\"plus\" anchor=\"\"
