Palazzo Mattei

Palazzo Mattei

The Palazzo Mattei di Giove is the most prominent among a group of Mattei houses that forms the "insula Mattei" in Rome, Italy, a block of buildings of many epochs. To distinguish this section from the others it carries the name of a Mattei fief, Giove. The chief architect connected with the Palazzo Mattei di Giove is Carlo Maderno, who was responsible for the extravagantly enriched cornice on the otherwise rather plain stuccoed public façade and who arranged the piano nobile loggia in the courtyard and the rooftop loggia or "altana".
