Via del Pellegrino, next to Campo de' Fiori, Piazza Farnese and Piazza Navona, we offer a bright and quiet 100m2 apartment, on the top floor with 30m2 of sunny private terrace. Discreet entrance, the building is dated 1467 by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage, with a frescoed façade, already perfectly restored by the owners. The frescoes on the facade, a masterpiece of exquisite beauty by Polidoro da Caravaggio, who worked with Raphael on the Vatican Logge, depict scenes from Roman history. In the second building there is a scratched depiction of a Moorish King, owner of a famous inn. Both facades have been carefully restored by the private owners, under the protection of the Italian Ministry of Fine Arts. The drawings and other masterpieces of Polidoro da Caravaggio are exhibited at the Louvre Museum in Paris, at the National Gallery in London and are part of the British Royal Collection. The attic is internally arranged as follows: living room with access to the terrace, with a functioning fireplace in original Pompadour marble. Convenient separate kitchenette. Room with boiserie bookcase with trompe-l'oeil secret door open to the sleeping area. Large pear wood wardrobes at the entrance. Double bed under the original 15th century beams with skylight. Travertine marble mosaics in the bathroom; vault with Turkish bath and showers. Independent air conditioning/heating system. Spacious and ventilated terrace for private breakfasts and dinners, facing South West. View of the Roman roofs and the 1579 bell tower of the Venerable English College. Discrete entrance to the building (without elevator) dated 1467 of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage. The palace and the adjacent one have a prestigious history, having belonged directly to a Pope, as demonstrated by certified documents. Pope Alexander VI Borja was the lover of Vannozza de' Cattanei, who bore him three children: Cesare, Jofre and Lucrezia Borgia, whose chronicles fill countless fascinating books and films.
