This old Palazzo is worth visiting not only for it's delightful architecture but also for it's beautiful collection of (sometimes rather large) ancient sculptures. Even though it is very close to Piazza Navona it is a quiet spot and one feels like he/she has the palazzo all to himself/herself.

You need to have a good guide or do a little research beforehand in order to fully appreciate the magnificent works here, but it is definitely worth it.

I spent beautiful hours looking at the sculptures and the painted ceilings. Definitely a must-see !

Excellent collection for a very cheap price of 3,50€ if you are EU citizen between 18 and 25. The price includes also three other museums. The Altemps is easily the best of the four museums with painted ceilings and Egyptian collections.

There is a place in Rome, connected I think to the Capitoline Museum, where they took a bunch of that classical sculpture and put it in something of a giant old factory full of lumbering, Metropolis style industrial machinery. This sounded very intriguing. I made many plans for heading there to view this compelling mashup.

But I was only in Rome for 30 days. And this place, the Centrale Montemartini, was nearly two whole miles from our apartment near the Pantheon. It was absolutely impossible. Who could venture so far? What good could ever come to us more than a mile from our dear Pantheon?

So I struck it off the list. And the twinge of regret I felt might have come to something unpleasant, might have led us into rash journeys, if it weren't for the fact that someone had tried a bit of this genre mashup already. And it was blessedly only a two minute walk from the front door of our apartment. Palazzo Altemps. They took a Renaissance Palazzo and stuffed it full of Roman statues.

Palazzo Altemps was on my list too, but not very high up or with much enthusiasm. It cost money. It was Renaissance and Classical rather than say, Baroque or Modern. It didn't photograph that well either and so gave no impression of its wonders, which can be subtle and strange and alchemical and peaceful. Oh I like the peaceful wonders in Rome.

But I might never have known until one day we went to the Palazzo Massimo. The ticket to get in there gave us tickets for Palazzo Altemps. So, the next day, since it was practically in our neighborhood, I took us there.

Ancient glass, frescoes under frescoes and painted wooden ceilings. Palaces built on palaces built on, who knows what, but they are digging down to find out. Roman sculpture looming in bright, lovely rooms with the vestiges of elaborate decoration. No crowds, pleasant views out the window, and small surprises around every corner.

Oh yes, that's Palazzo Altemps.

Go slow. Don't take Rome for granted. Forget pictures. Don't travel more than a mile from your door. Have a negroni every night. Eat Roman fruit. Always, always check out the ceilings. Remember, If there's a crowd it might be something really good, but if there's hardly anyone around it might even be better.

And if "Palazzo" is in the title of the attraction, go.

One of Rome's best kept secrets. Beautifully renovated, right near Pza Navona and housing an impressive collection.
