Floor plan of the Palazzo Bonaparte

The D'Aste family had the palace built in 1658–1665 by Giovanni Antonio de Rossi. Around 1699 it passed into the possession of the Rinuccini princes and in 1818 it was bought by Letizia Ramolino , Napoleon's mother . She lived here until her death in 1836. Her heirs sold the building to the Misciattelli family in 1905. It has been owned by the Italian insurance company INA Assitalia since 1972, and the exterior was restored in 1979.

description

Memorial plaque for Letizia Bonaparte

The elegant three-storey palace with its high gable windows is characterized by a covered balcony that extends around the corner of the building to Via del Corso . In the rear part of the building there is a belvedere with the inscription “Bonaparte”.

The prominent location of the building on the Piazza Venezia and Via del Corso is also noteworthy by the fact that it is, so to speak, in a recess through which the much larger Palazzo Doria-Pamphilj gives it space.

There is a memorial plaque for Letizia Bonaparte in the stairway entrance.

The interior of the palace is not open to the public.

use

From 1955 the palace was the seat of the German cultural institute Biblioteca Germanica for many years . Today a study center of the Polish Academy of Sciences is housed in the palazzo.
