The Cavalier d'Arpino Palace at Arpino has an elegant seventeenth century form with a fine front door.
Inside there are original decorations of 1600s and frescoes attributed to family.
The real name of the Cavalier d'Arpino was Giuseppe Cesari, born in 1568 in this city and he became an important painter in the service of the pope.
He was part of the Academy of San Luca, and was involved in the decoration of the Vatican loggias and many important buildings, especially those for Clement VIII Aldobrandini.
He also worked at the courts of the French, Spanish, Austrian and in Venice.
Thanks to earnings from his work he bought a house in the centre of Rome in Via del Corso and the palace in his native Arpino.
His remains are located in Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano.
