Palazzo Taverna
Palazzo Taverna, located in via di Monte Giordano, in the heart of Rome, between Piazza Navona and Castel Sant'Angelo, was built in the XV century on the ruins of the fortress of Giordano Orsini (remembered by Dante, Inf. XVIII, 99), from where the Orsini dominated the area up to the bank of the Tiber.
Since then, the building will be the reference point for the family's "representation" policy. It was the residence of ambassadors and cardinals (Ippolito d'Este received Bernardo and Torquato Tasso there; Cardinal Luciano Bonaparte, Napoleon's great-grandson, hosted the Empress Eugenia and his father Gioacchino Belli who entertained guests with his sonnets). Purchased by Maurizio di Savoia who did his utmost to embellish it, it passed in the early 1600s to the Gabriellis who made changes giving it its current appearance; finally, the last change of ownership took place in favor of the Taverna.
A short climb, through the high portal, leads to the picturesque courtyard; opposite is an elegant fountain by A. Casoni (1615), consisting of four successive basins and surrounded by a thick laurel exedra, which characterizes one of the most secret and peculiar corners of Rome. Immediately to the right, at the bottom, there are nineteenth-century buildings of medieval and Renaissance style. With the “Torre Augusta” (1880) and a large hall, on the opposite side, through an architraved portal of the Renaissance, you reach a beautiful courtyard with an external staircase, a portico and three large arches on columns with fine capitals (sec. XV) and an upper loggia, partly walled up.
Inside, in the large reception rooms on the main floor, in addition to the valuable period furniture, you can admire the collections of paintings by Sebastiano Ricci and Rosa da Tivoli.
