Genzano di Roma. Sforza Cesarini Palace

Sforza Cesarini palace was built on the site of the ancient palace of the Colonna in Genzano di Roma.

It was renovated between 1637 and 1647 by expanding through the purchase of some adjoining houses.

it is also called the ducal palace of Genzano and it is the central axis of the Olmate.

The façade has three rows of windows and resembles the Palazzo Barberini in Rome, while the portal, with two columns surmounted by a balcony, takes after Palazzo Chigi of Bernini.

The interior is decorated with landscapes and views of the same building seen in a panorama of the town.

In the 1800s a wonderful romantic English garden was created sloping down to the shores of Lake Nemi.
