Galleria Colonna

Galleria Colonna

A lavish Roman Baroque gallery with mirrors, frescoes, and sculptures, showcasing works by Guercino, Tintoretto, and Veronese, evokes grand Roman family life.
Galleria Colonna occupies part of Palazzo Colonna and is a lavish expression of Roman Baroque taste. The long gallery, with its mirrors, frescoes, sculpture and polished surfaces, was designed as much for display and social theatre as for the hanging of pictures. Works by artists such as Guercino, Tintoretto and Veronese contribute to the richness of the collection. The setting vividly evokes the world of great Roman families.
