Roma, Palazzo Altieri - seta In the state rooms of the Roman palace where the princes and cardinals of the powerful Altieri family lived out three centuries of glory, the gods of ancient Rome and the Biblical patriarchs meet together in impressive frescoes — presented here for the first time since their restoration - which were created as the enduring monument to the splendours of a noble race.
