The Palazzo Doria Pamphilj is a Baroque-style art gallery that traces its architectural roots to the early 15th century. Towering on Via del Corso in the heart of Rome, the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj is a gallery that flaunts the best art history from the Pamphilj family’s private collection. But the palazzo’s history runs deeper than hosting art displays.

Within the walls of what we see as an art museum breathes the memory of the private lives of Italy’s most powerful families, who once called it home. Today, the palazzo is still owned by the Doria Pamphilj family, which, through marriage, unified the Doria, Pamphilj, Landi, and Aldobrandini families. The Pamphilj family’s claim to the palazzo dates back to 1654 when Prince Camillo Pamphilj and his bride Olimpia Borghese moved in.
