Maravilhoso museu com obras importantes dos séculos XVI e XVII. Em nossa visita destaco 4 obras de Caravaggio, belissimos aflitos e obras de Tintoretto, Remi e outros artistas italianos. O palacio possui jardins em que a visita é gratuita e podem ser um bom local para passeios e descanso no centro de Roma, em uma área bastante turística. Descendo no metrô Barberino o palacio é bem próximo e deve ser alcançado a pé. Um passeio obrigatório em Roma.

A beautiful palace with a large collection of older paintings. One of many arts venues in Rome. Not crowded.
