history
The building of the Italian embassy was built in 1815 and Klemens Wenzel Lothar von Metternich acquired the property along with the property. Extensions were made from 1835 according to plans by Peter von Nobile and from 1846 to 1848 by Johann Romano vonringen and August Schwendenwein von Lanauberg . The building was looted in 1848 when Metternich was expelled. In 1873 a horseshoe-shaped extension was removed. The park in which the Palais Kaunitz-Metternich stood at the time of the congress stretched from Rennweg to Salesianer- and Beatrixgasse.
The building was acquired by the Italian government in 1908 and renovated and expanded from 1910 onwards. The embassy was closed during the First World War, and an Italian Consulate General was located here during the Second World War . After the relatively minor war damage had been repaired and the embassy reopened, renovations were carried out on the second floor in 1969. Because of the interior design, the Italian embassy in Vienna is still one of the most prestigious embassy buildings in Italy.
The Savoy , who became kings of Italy in 1861, sent the first diplomatic representatives to the emperor's court in the 16th century . The archives of the legation in Vienna, which span several centuries, were sent to Rome in 1886 by the ambassador at the time, Costantino Nigra , where it is kept in the foreign ministry there . Parts of the inventory from 1661 to 1702 were lost.
