PALAZZO GIUSTINIANI at Bassano Romano
(Lazio Region, Italy)
The villa originally belonged to the Anguillara; it was purchased in 1595 by Giuseppe Giustiniani, a banker from Genova who had been introduced to the papal court by his brother in law, cardinal Orazio Giustiniani.. The villa's present structure dates back to the beginning of the 17th century when Vincenzo Giustiniani had it restored, adorned with outstanding ancient statues and used it as a his suburban residence and administrative seat of the vast Bassano estate. The more important artists and architects of the day were involved, including Maderno who supervised the works and Antonio Tempesta, Francesco Albani, Bernardo Castello, Domenichino and Paolo Guidotti Borghese who frescoed the palazzo's vaulted ceilings and walls.
