The Palazzo

An exquisite period residence in the heart of Rome

The ancient Palazzo in via delle Coppelle, built in the 15th Century, is a building that connects the past and present of the Eternal City, and creates an unforgettable experience with eight luxury apartments. Antique collections and inspired design shape the interiors, with ancient wooden doors and inlaid friezes, all enriched by the precious ancient stones donated by the person behind it all, Carlo Mazzi. Original materials meet contemporary vibrancy as shapes and colour come together, representing the soul of Rome.

What our guests say

Set in the beating heart of Rome, a stone’s throw from Piazza Navona and the magnificence of the Pantheon, Palazzo delle Pietre has its roots in an era from times gone by.

THE HISTORY OF THE PALAZZO

Via delle Coppelle, where it still stands today, was at the centre of the construction of the city during Imperial Rome, connecting the Campo Marzio area to the Tiber River and the Porto di Ripetta. Built at the beginning of the 15th Century, on the site of the former Baths of Nero, the Palazzo, as part of the Society of Via delle Coppelle, was linked to the Vatican Archconfraternity of the SS Annunziata. After various changes in ownership, with many of the buildings belonging to SS Annunziata being split into different properties, in 2012, the Mazzi family purchased Palazzo delle Pietre, restoring its unique beauty after a long and intensive renovation process.

One of the key elements of the Palazzo are the large archaeological fragments that serve to decorate the suites, attesting to the ancient origins of the property: they come from the family’s private collection, which began with great passion at the end of the 19th Century and continued with Carlo Mazzi who has made purchases from the most prestigious antiques dealers. Every stone attest to glorious eras of Italy’s history, from the Imperial Age through the Middle Ages, all the way to the splendid Renaissance.

These ancient stones offer an escape from the unstoppable passing of time because they preserve the evidence of man’s work in the pursuit of beauty; art is a virtue that unites men and women from all over the world.
