From Pedestrian Passage to Architectural Wonder: The Palazzo Sciarra Colonna di Carbognano
After Rome became Italy’s capital, the historic area around Via del Corso and Via delle Vergini was redeveloped, leading to the creation of the Palazzo Sciarra Colonna di Carbognano.
Designed by Giulio De Angelis, this Art Nouveau gem features an iron and glass vault and a stunning entrance gate. Painted by Giuseppe Cellini between 1885-1888, its murals celebrate late 19th-century ideals of women’s roles. Restored in the 1970s, the gallery’s external decorations were preserved while its structure was reinforced.
