1564 maybe Annibale Lippi
(active in Rome in the second half of the XVI century), son of Giovanni Lippi
aka Nanni di Baccio Bigio, or Bartolomeo Ammannati
(1511/92) for Alessandro Mattei
“The news
about the life and the artistic activity of Annibale Lippi are fragmentary; the
historiographical debate is also about the question concerning its involvement
in many paternal works. Annibale, as the father Nanni, adhered fully to the
style derived from the production of Antonio Cordini da Sangallo the Younger,
and this has complicated the problem of attribution related to many of his
works” (Maria Grazia Ercolino - Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani Treccani)
The
building was part of the so-called ISOLA MATTEI (Island Mattei),
together with the other palaces of Giacomo Mattei, Mattei di Giove and Mattei
Paganica
From the
Mattei family in 1683 the building's property passed to the Negroni family, in
1753 to the Marquis Durazzo, in 1760 to Cardinal Serbelloni and finally, in
1776, to the Caetani family, dukes of Sermoneta and princes of Teano, to whom
it still belongs today
