Colonna Gallery

A true jewel of the Roman Baroque, the majestic Galleria Colonna houses one of the largest private art collections in all of Italy, with extraordinary pieces by masters such as Carracci, Bronzino and Guercino. The gallery is part of the lavish Palazzo Colonna, whose own architectural splendor rivals the value of the works it houses. Its halls are decorated with magnificent frescoes and luxurious apartments that you can wander through at your own pace - get ready to immerse yourself in a universe of authentic art! Entering the Colonna Gallery is like stepping into a living Baroque painting, where elaborate gilded details and spectacular frescoes stretch in all directions. The palace has been home to the Colonna family for over twenty generations, and its art collection is practically an anthology of the great Italian masters. Contemplate the enveloping beauty of the 'Hall of Landscapes', adorned with country scenes by Gaspard Dughet framed between splendid marble columns. Then, direct your gaze to the 'Hall of the Apotheosis of Martin V', crowned by a huge canvas on the ceiling painted by Benedetto Luti. The Chapel preserves original works by Paolo Farinati, while the 'Hall of Tapestries' exhibits impressive fabrics with intricate designs dating back to the early 16th century.
