1473/77 for
Cardinal Stefano Nardini appointed governor of Rome by Pope Paul II Barbo
(1464/71)
It is also
known as Palazzo Nardini
Cardinal
Nardini donated it in 1475 to the Pio Ospedale del Salvatore in Laterano
(Devout Hospital of the Saviour at the Lateran) to use it as headquarters of
the Academy of Arts and Humanities
In 1624 the
Hospital of the Savior gave the palace to the Apostolic Chamber for Urban VIII
Barberini (1623/44) had decided to use it as the seat of the Governor of Rome
In 1755
Benedict XIV Lambertini (1740/58) moved all the offices in the new Government
Palace, i.e. Palazzo
Madama, and Palazzo Nardini became the Palazzo del Governo
Vecchio (Palace of the Old Government), whose name was later transferred also
to the street
From 1870
it was the seat of the Pretura Civile (District Civil Court)
Since 1964
it belongs to the city of Rome and it is abandoned and awaiting resettlement
In
1977 the film Doppio Delitto (Double Murder) was shot here, with
Marcello Mastroianni, Peter Ustinov and Ursula Andress from the book Doppia
morte al Governo Vecchio (Double Death at the Old Government)
