The Galleria Spada In Spada Palace In Rome, Italy Editorial Photo

Portraits and Watch in the Hall of the Popes or First Hall of Galleria Spada in Rome Italy.The female busts dates from the 1st century A.C, the watch from the XVIII century. The Galleria Spada is a part of the Palazzo Spada-Capodiferro, one of the most amazing Roman Renaissance buildings. The Galleria is a perfect example of the 17th century Roman noble families collecting as well as being one of the most important international museums of Baroque painting. It is particularly fascinating because it preserves the same atmosphere of a private residence as when il was home to Cardinal Bernardino 1594 - 1661 and Cardinal Fabrizio Spada 1643-1717, who are mainly responsible for the collection.
