CENCI BOLOGNETTI PALACE ON PIAZZA DELLE CINQUE SCOLE

PALAZZO CENCI BOLOGNETTI IN PIAZZA DELLE CINQUE SCOLE

Several different buildings unified in 1570/85 for Francesco Cenci, the father of the infamous Beatrice Cenci
The relief of the land consists of ancient Roman ruins including perhaps those of the Temple of Castor and Pollux, or more likely of the AMPHITHEATER OF STATILIUS TAURUS, built in 29 BC, the first in Rome in bricks, eventually destroyed by the fire of Nero in 64 AD
Despite their claims of antiquity dating back two thousand years, the Cenci family reliably dates back to mid-1300s
