		Very little has changed in Piazza Farnese since Vasi's time: the central window designed by Michelangelo has been slightly altered by the use of a single glass pane and two small coats of arms have been added to the gigantic one, which is attributed to Michelangelo too.
		Palazzo Farnese influenced the design of this XVIth century building at the beginning of Via di Monserrato which leads to the church by the same name.
		It is called Palazzo Fioravanti because it belonged to this family in 1748 when Giovanni Battista Nolli designed a very detailed map of Rome: for minor buildings the names he gave in the legend to his map have become the official names by which art historians and detailed guide books call the buildings.
