PALACE OF JACOPO DA BRESCIA

PALAZZO DI JACOPO DA BRESCIA
About 1519 maybe by Raffaello Sanzio (1483/1520) for Jacopo da Brescia the doctor of Leo X Medici (1513/21)
The palace was destroyed in 1936 for the opening of Via della Conciliazione and the façade was moved here from Via Borgo Nuovo
The same happened to the CASA DI FEBO BRIGOTTI (Febo Brigotti's House), the doctor of Paul III Farnese (1534/49). The façade of the Casa is now adjacent to the Palace of Jacopo da Brescia on Via dei Corridori
It was inspired by the neighboring and now completely destroyed Palazzo Caprini by Donato Bramante
“The upper floors are one of the first examples in Rome of the use of a curtain of exposed brick (in this case coupled with lava stone), in a representative building. The tight side on Borgo Sant'Angelo was solved by Raphael with a Serlian window of which he was one of the first designers” (Emanuela Montelli)
