Palazzo Barberini is one of Rome’s great Baroque palaces, built in the 17th century for the powerful Barberini family after Maffeo Barberini became Pope Urban VIII. What makes it remarkable is that three architectural giants all worked on it: Carlo Maderno, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and Francesco Borromini. The palace became the model for the grand Baroque residences that followed throughout Europe. #palazzo #roma #rome #italy #educationalpurposes
