		It was created under the pontificate of Urban VIII Barberini, who commissioned it from the great artist to celebrate his family name and make it the visual fulcrum of the area (now Piazza Barberini), dominated by the family palace and at the time considered a suburban area.
		It was built between the end of 1642 and the first half of 1643, and coincided with the final construction phases of Palazzo Barberini.
		The building of the modern cinema and rebuilding of the current hotel behind the fountain definitively changed the function of the precious Baroque artwork: born as the pivot of a harmonious space it is today relegated to traffic island.

	Laughing Masks
		Palazzo del Quirinale was initially built towards the end of the XVIth century as a summer residence for the popes, replacing in this function Palazzo Venezia.
		The new residence, while being, similarly to Palazzo Venezia, at a certain distance from the river to minimize the risk of contracting malaria, because of its position on the hill enjoyed to a greater extent the breeze which at sunset tempers the heat of the Roman summer days.
		Palazzo Cerri has a very strange mask which portrays a man in the act of waking up and yawning: in addition to the mask at the center of the portal the folds of the lateral decorations design a threatening face.

		The narrow, bladelike man who stood in one of the many elegantly decorated reception-rooms of the Palazzo Barberini in Rome had a potent reputation.
		It had been politely—even deferentially—worded, but neither Barberini nor his uncle Pope Urban VIII had any doubt that the letter and the accompanying documents were, in essence, an ultimatum.
		Barberini had the sinking feeling that Mazzare was one of those pestiferous clerics who felt quite firmly that he was simply the organ for a greater truth—in his case, the distilled truth of the Roman Catholic church to which he belonged.

		The Barberini family originally were the Tafani da Barberino, sprung from the village of Barberino in the Elsa Valley near Florence.

		The sacred area is in the lower sanctuary which is about 16 m below the upper one, which is in turn built upon a series of artificial terracings which gives it a pyramidal appearance of great effect.
		Built by the Colonna family, the palace was many times modifìed and it was at the end of the XV Century that its integration with the older buildings was begun, later completed by will of Taddeo Barberini (1640).

		The Renaissance Barberini reached their peak when a son was elected pope as Urban VIII; he encouraged Bernini and gave him great patronage.
		At first they look more like flies, but they're the bees of the Barberini, the crest of that powerful family complete with the crossed keys of St. Peter above them (the keys were always added to a family crest when a son was elected pope).

	Humanist Art Review - Articles
		And that the Palazzo Barberini's entry court owes a debt of inspiration to the loggia of the Villa Farnesina seems plausible at a purely formal level
		When the Villa was purchased by the Farnese later in the 16th century, the new owners, who had engaged Michelangelo for the completion of their urban palazzo immediately across the Tiber, solicited the artist/architect's advice on their acquisition.
		The learned Farnese, their advisors and the Caracci evolved a dense iconographic program for the palazzo's gallery frescoes identical to that of the facade of the villa Farnesina, thereby "bridging" allegorically what they could not physically.

		The first design of Palazzo Barberini was realized by Carlo Moderno (1556-1629) who, including the pre-existent Palazzo Sforza, created a new type of building which can be considered both as a city palace and a suburban villa.
		Bernini, who later took charge of the building works, did not modify the project; he added, however, the central hall, which is connected with the rear oval hall, and designed the facade on via delle Quattro Fontane.
		With the opening of the former entrance on via Barberini visitors have access to the "Cavallerizza" Courtyard where, through the imposing "Entrone" (entrance door), starts the first flight of the quadrangular staircase designed by Bernini, now restored.

		In Rome, Italy, the Palazzo Barberini houses the National Galerie of Ancient Art with some 1,500 paintings, among which is found Rafaello's famous "Fornarina."
		I saw in a recent news item that this palace, which is considered the outstanding example of Roman High Baroque, has after four years of repair been restored to its pristine splendor, revealing the brilliance of Bernini's travertine facade as well as Boromini's spiral staircase.
		It was therefore a pleasant surprise to me to see this palazzo appear as the Embassy of the kingdom of which Audrey Hepburn played the role of Princess Anne -- another reason for saying that "Roman Holiday" (1953) has become one of my favorite films, details of which I have discussed with Audrey personally.

		What makes LanfrancoÕs ceiling fresco really stand out among others is the fact that he was so innovative with the Baroque style, using massive amounts of figures, and the amount of attention paid to every detail, as well as the fact that he rejected balanced group settings, preferring more naturalistic, and sometimes chaotic scenes.

	The Triumph of Divine Providence (detail) by PIETRO DA CORTONA
		This ceiling in the reception room at Palazzo Barberini (which now houses the National Antique Art Gallery), was the most important single work that helped to make the Baroque the dominant style in Rome, and so over much of Europe, during the seventeenth century.
		The orderly clarity of Annibale Carracci's frescos in Palazzo Farnese was replaced by a turbulent composition that was full of spiraling movement.
		In this scene, officially on a religious theme, the triumphs of the Barberini dynasty are nearly as apparent as those of Divine Providence as can be seen from the way their heraldic device of flying bees dominates the scene.
