Galleria Doria Pamphilj: A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Rome 🎨

Kent WangKent Wang

Villa Doria Pamphili is the largest public park in Rome, and was the former country estate of the Pamphili family. "In 1644 Cardinal Giambattista Pamphili became elected to the papacy and took the name of Innocent X. In accordance with this change in status, the Pamphili aspired to a grander and more expansively sited new villa. The initial design had a central casino (a house in the original meaning of the term) with wings, but only the central block was built. There is uncertainty as to who the architect was; Algardi was not an architect, and it may be that he had help from Carlo Rainaldi and that the construction was supervised by Grimaldi. Construction began in 1645 and was complete by 1647 although embellishments and the garden layouts were not finished until 1653. The casino, sometimes known as the Casino del Bel Respiro, was designed as a complement to the Pamphili collection of sculptures both ancient and modern, and other Roman antiquities such as vases, sarcophagi and inscriptions; it was only ever intended for display of the collection and the family and guests resided in the older Vecchia Vigna."

I signed up for an Artist Group called Sketching Rome & met an American, local artist at Vivi Bistrot which is located on park grounds.

A Pamphilj family's country residence, Villa Doria Pamphilj took on the aspect of a sumptuous noble country residence under pope Innocent X (1644-1655). In 1856 it was enlarged by Prince Andrea V Doria Pamphilj who purchased Villa Corsini at Porta San Pancrazio.

In 1957, the Italian State acquired the initial part. A parcel of the current 184 hectares was acquired by the Municipality of Rome in 1965 and 1971, when the park was finally opened to the public.

Numerous parts of the villa...

If you have the time and desire to be outdoors, this could be an ideal option. In addition to Villa Borghese, Villa Pamphili is one of the most beautiful parks in the heart of Rome. It is also one of the largest, after the one on the Appia Antica, with an area of approximately 184 hectares, reachable from 4 main entrances. It is a wonderful place, surrounded by greenery! Perhaps the most suggestive location in all of Villa Pamphili is “Il Casino del Bel Respiro”, where it doesn't seem to...
