NUÑEZ TORLONIA PALACE

PALAZZO NUÑEZ TORLONIA
1658/60 Giovanni Antonio De Rossi (1616/95) maybe from a design of Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598/1680) for the Marquis Nuñez
In 1806 it became the property of the Bonaparte family and here lived Napoleon's brother, Lucien Bonaparte, who had Raffaele Stern (1774/1820) to renovate the building
In 1842 it was bought by the Torlonia family who had Antonio Sarti (1797/1880) to restore and enlarge it
Marino Torlonia wanted to build the Hotel d'Inghilterra (Hotel England) in front of the building for his guests
It was again restored in 1989
