There is a place in Rome, connected I think to the Capitoline Museum, where they took a bunch of that classical sculpture and put it in something of a giant old factory full of lumbering, Metropolis style industrial machinery. This sounded very intriguing. I made many plans for heading there to view this compelling mashup.

But I was only in Rome for 30 days. And this place, the Centrale Montemartini, was nearly two whole miles from our apartment near the Pantheon. It was absolutely impossible. Who could venture so far? What good could ever come to us more than a mile from our dear Pantheon?

So I struck it off the list. And the twinge of regret I felt might have come to something unpleasant, might have led us into rash journeys, if it weren't for the fact that someone had tried a bit of this genre mashup already. And it was blessedly only a two minute walk from the front door of our apartment. Palazzo Altemps. They took a Renaissance Palazzo and stuffed it full of Roman statues.

Palazzo Altemps was on my list too, but not very high up or with much enthusiasm. It cost money. It was Renaissance and Classical rather than say, Baroque or Modern. It didn't photograph that well either and so gave no impression of its wonders, which can be subtle and strange and alchemical and peaceful. Oh I like the peaceful wonders in Rome.

But I might never have known until one day we went to the Palazzo Massimo. The ticket to get in there gave us tickets for Palazzo Altemps. So, the next day, since it was practically in our neighborhood, I took us there.

Ancient glass, frescoes under frescoes and painted wooden ceilings. Palaces built on palaces built on, who knows what, but they are digging down to find out. Roman sculpture looming in bright, lovely rooms with the vestiges of elaborate decoration. No crowds, pleasant views out the window, and small surprises around every corner.

Oh yes, that's Palazzo Altemps.

Go slow. Don't take Rome for granted. Forget pictures. Don't travel more than a mile from your door. Have a negroni every night. Eat Roman fruit. Always, always check out the ceilings. Remember, If there's a crowd it might be something really good, but if there's hardly anyone around it might even be better.

And if "Palazzo" is in the title of the...

On a quiet day in Rome, we visited Palazzo Altemps, part of the National Roman Museum, and it was an absolute highlight. Unlike the busier museums, this stunning 16th-century palace offers a peaceful and immersive experience, perfect for appreciating its world-class collection of ancient sculptures.

The museum houses exquisite Greek and Roman statues, many of which were collected by noble families during the Renaissance. The standout pieces include the Ludovisi Gaul, a dramatic statue of a warrior in his final moments, and the Ludovisi Ares, a breathtakingly detailed sculpture of the god of war resting on his shield. The grand courtyard, with its elegant arches and marble fragments, sets the stage beautifully for these masterpieces.

One of the most fascinating aspects is how the museum incorporates ancient Roman foundations beneath the palace, giving a glimpse into the layered history of Rome. The contrast between the Renaissance architecture and the ancient artifacts makes for a unique and atmospheric visit.

If you’re interested in classical art and want to escape the crowds, Palazzo Altemps is a must-visit. It’s centrally located, just a short walk from Piazza Navona, yet feels like a secret oasis of history and culture.

📅 Opening Hours: Tuesday–Sunday, 9:00 AM – 7:45 PM (Closed Mondays) 🎟️ Tickets: €12 for a single entry or included in the National Roman Museum pass (€17 for four sites).

Highly recommended for art lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a quieter cultural...

Questo musei, diviso in tre piani, comprende le più importanti opere artistiche realizzate tra la fine dell'età repubblicana (II-I secolo a.C.) e l'età tardo imperiale (IV secolo a.C.), nonché alcune opere greche del V secolo a.C., offrendo ai suoi visitatori uno spaccato abbastanza completo della vita politica ed economica dell'antica Roma. L'esposizione al piano inferiore si articola in tre corridoi e otto sale disposte attorno ad un ampio cortile centrale. Nel primo corridoio sono esposti 10 ritratti di epoca tardo repubblicana. Nella I sala spicca la statua marmorea del Generale da Tivoli (70 a.C.), rinvenuta a Tivoli nel tempio di Ercole Vittorioso. Nella quinta sala è collocata la statua di Augusto proveniente da Via Labicana, rappresentante l'imperatore ad immagine del Sommo Pontefice. Nella settima sala sono esposte sculture provenienti dai Giardini Sallustriani (il moderno quartiere Ludovisi), i cui proprietari furono dapprima il celebre Giulio Cesare e poi Sallustria, da cui presero il nome; in essi furono scoperte alcune sculture greche originali. Questa sala ospita un capolavoro: una statua di Niobi del 440 a.C., la figlia di Niobe, raffigurata mentre cerca di togliersi dalla schiena la freccia con cui Diana la colpì. La sala 8 contiene sculture greche realizzate per i politici romani che cercavano di acquisire opere d'arte elleniche. Al secondo piano, l'esposizione è distribuita in due corridoi e 14 sale. Alcuni di essi contengono ritratti, rilievi e sarcofagi, esempi dell'iconografia ufficiale dell'arte romana, dal I al IV secolo d.C. Altri contengono una ricca produzione di statue in bronzo e marmo ispirate alle sculture greche del V e IV secolo a.C. La Sala 5, ad esempio, raccoglie opere provenienti da diverse ville dell'area romana e laziale: da Villa Adriana e dalle due ville neroniane di Anzio e Subiaco. Nella sala 6, di particolare interesse è la statua dell'Apollo tiberiano, rinvenuta nel letto del fiume, che descrive Fidia, il Discobolo di Lancellotti e il Discobolo di Castelporziano. Nella settima sala si trovano una grande statua in bronzo di Dionigi dell'epoca di Adriano (II a.C.) e una bella scultura di Ermafrodito dormiente, copia dell'originale ellenistico (entrambi di II a.C.). Nel secondo corridoio sono presenti statue con ritratti femminili del III-IV secolo d.C.: Giulia Domna, moglie di Settimio Severo, Plautilla, moglie di Caracalla, Salomina, moglie di Gallieno. I dipinti, i mosaici e gli stucchi conservati al 3° piano mostrano con quale lusso erano decorate le ville e le ricche case dei romani. Qui si trovano dipinti del giardino della Villa Livia, moglie dell'imperatore Augusto, sulla Via Flaminia, pavimenti a mosaico del II e IV secolo, affreschi della Villa Farnesina, realizzati in occasione del matrimonio tra Agrippa e Giulia nel 19 a.C. e ancora mosaici in vetro, conchiglie e pomice, provenienti dal Ninfeo della Villa di Nerone ad Anzio (I secolo) e pavimenti provenienti da Villa Baccano sulla Via Cassia (III secolo), appartenuta agli imperatori del Nord. Metto quattro stelle, e non cinque, perchè a mio avviso dovrebbero essere aggiunti dei pannelli esplicativi o dei video che istruiscano il visitatore sull'evoluzione cronologica della...

Roman hidden treasure: Palazzo Altemps ✨ It’s a real masterpiece that used to be the residence of Cardinal Marco Sittico Altemps. The Altemps family lived there for a long time. The most stunning part to discover is this loggia, which is painted like an enchanted garden.
