		The Lateran Palace, sometimes more formally known as the Palace of the Lateran, is an ancient palace of the Roman Empire and later a Palace of the Popes.
		The whole of the front of the palace was taken up with the "Aula Concilii", a magnificent hall with eleven apses, in which were held the various Councils of the Lateran during the medieval period.
		The fall of the palace from this position of glory was the result of the departure of the popes from Rome during the Avignon period.

		Among Rome’s many palaces and villas the Farnese Palace (begun 1514) and the Farnesina (1508–11) are particularly famous; others, all dating from the 17th cent., are those of the great Roman families, the Colonna, Chigi, Torlonia, and Doria.
		The seven hills of the ancient city are the Palatine, roughly in the center, with the Capitoline to the northwest and the Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelian, and Aventine in an outlying north-southwest curve.
		The conflict between pope and king—or Vatican and Quirinal, as the antagonists were designated because of the location of their palaces—was not solved until the conclusion (1929) of the Lateran Treaty, which gave the pope sovereignty over Vatican City.

	Quirinal Palace
		The Quirinal Palace (known in Italian as the Quirinale) is the official residence of the President of the Italian Republic.
		The palace, located on the Via del Quirinale and faces onto the Piazza del Quirinale, was built in 1573 by Pope Gregory XIII as a papal summer residence.
		The palace became the official royal residence of the Kings of Italy, though in reality some monarchs, notably King Victor Emmanuel III (r: 1900-1946) actually lived in a private residence elsewhere, with the Quirinale being used simply as an office and for state functions.

		Fuga made a decisive contribution to the planning of the Quirinal Hill and its piazza, because in addition to the Palazzo della Consulta, he completed the stables of the Quirinal Palace and added the 360-metre-long wing known as the Manica lunga, to the lateral facade of the Quirinal Palace.
		Originally the palace was sky blue, to which the present cream-white, chosen some years ago during the restoration of the facade, is certainly much more faithful than the ochre plasterwork, or “terra romana,” which was widely used for official buildings beginning in the nineteenth century.
		In describing the rooms, frescoes and furnishings of the palace, and in particular those of the piano nobile, one needs to keep in mind its different uses over time, in particular during the brief period from 1871 to 1874 when it was the official residence of the royal heirs Umberto and Margherita of Savoy.

		The Quirinal Palace, official residence of the head of state (pope at first, then the king, and now the president), spreads with its gardens over the top of the Quirinal hill.
		Since the pressure of the water carried by the previous aqueduct was too low to reach the top of the hill, the Quirinal Palace suffered the lack of running water, until this important need could be satisfied thanks to the new Aqua Felix.
		During the Middle Ages the Quirinal hill was given the nickname Montecavallo ("horse hill") due to a large twin marble group featuring two male figures (the Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, sons of Jupiter) and their horses, roman copies of a Greek original.

		This square is on the Quirinal Mount, which is the highest of the seven old hills: it commands some of the finest views of the modern city, with the noblest of its palaces and churches, fountains and obelisks.
		In the rear of this palace are fine and spacious gardens with shady groves and fresh fountains, and in front of it are most happily placed the statues represented in our view.
		In the days of the Roman Empire, the Quirinal Mount was covered with buildings as it now is; and, besides the baths of Constantine, which we have mentioned, there was a splendid temple of the sun on the level space now called the square of Monte Cavallo.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Domenico Fontana
		Among profane buildings his strong restrained style, with its suggestion of the School of Vignola, is best exemplified in the Lateran Palace (begun 1586), in which the vigorous application of sound structural principles and a power of co-ordination are undeniable, but also the utter lack of imagination and barren monotony of style.
		It was characteristic of him to remain satisfied with a single solution of an architectural problem, as shown in the fact that he reapplied the motif of the Lateran Palace in the later part of the
		Vatican containing the present papal residence, and in the additions to the Quirinal Palace.
