XII century
for the Orsini family with great tower and turreted houses on the ruins of the
TEMPLE OF VENUS WINNER which was built in 52 BC above the auditorium of the THEATER OF POMPEY on the years
61/55 BC
In 1450 the
building was structured and designed like a veritable palace for Cardinal
Francesco Coldumer nephew of Pope Eugene IV Coldumer (1431/47)
The Orsini
returned in possession of the palace at the end of 1400s and it was known as PALAZZO
ORSINI
The Orsini
sold it at the beginning of 1600s to the Pio da Carpi family who did renovation
with a NEW FAÇADE by Camillo Arcucci (active
from 1646/d. 1667)
The Pio da
Carpi amassed a collection of paintings which largely ended up in the Pinacoteca Capitolina
After other
owners, it was bought in 1863 by the banker Pietro Righetti who had it restored
In
1926 it was divided into several apartments
