	Palazzo Farnese
		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.

		Having decorated the Camerino (study) in the Palazzo Farnese, he was joined (1597) by Agostino in the chief enterprise of his career—painting the frescoes of the coved ceiling of the Galleria (1597–1603/04) with love fables from Ovid.
		The Galleria Farnese soon became and remained a virtually indispensable study for young painters until well into the 18th century and was an especially rich feeding ground for the Baroque imaginations of Peter Paul Rubens and Gianlorenzo Bernini, among others.

		The Farnese family rose to great power and wealth during the Renaissance, in part because of the favor Pope Alexander VI showed to the beautiful Giullia Farnese.
		It's said that Carracci was so dismayed at the miserly fee he received -- the Farnese family was extravagantly rich even by the standards of 15th- and 16th-century Rome's extravagantly rich -- that he took to drink and died shortly thereafter.
		Those who sympathize with the poor man's fate will be further dismayed to learn that the French government pays one euro every 99 years as rent for their sumputous embassy (actually, the Italian embassy has the same arrangement).

	Ceiling fresco by CARRACCI, Annibale
		The huge ceiling in the reception room of Palazzo Farnese, painted just as the seventeenth century was beginning, was part of a great cycle of decorative paintings on the theme The Loves of the Gods, which Carracci painted for Cardinal Odoardo Farnese.
		During the protracted period it took to complete the frescos, the Palazzo Farnese cycle became a test bed for the Carraccis' revitalized classicism.
		They gave life to a new sort of art which was characterized by the supremacy of resplendent and light-hearted decoration, filled with colour and movement.
