Palazzo Corsini

Why go

Palazzo Corsini is a quieter alternative to Rome’s larger museums, with paintings still connected to the setting of an eighteenth-century family collection. Its history also reaches Christina of Sweden, whose court occupied the earlier palace and helped foster the Accademia dell’Arcadia.

What to look for

• Ferdinando Fuga transformed the earlier Riario villa into the present palace for Cardinal Neri Maria Corsini.
• The gallery’s arrangement preserves the character of a historic collection rather than presenting a simple.
• Gardens rise behind the palace toward the Janiculum and now form part of Rome’s botanical garden.

Useful to know

• Check the gallery’s current timetable before crossing Trastevere, as access was not established here.
• Combine the palace with Villa Farnesina or the botanical garden, but confirm each site separately because they operate independently.
