1584/88 Domenico Fontana (1543/1607) and Carlo Maderno (1556/1629) for Cardinal Girolamo
Rusticucci, who also paid for the construction of new church of S. Susanna
To build
the palace, the cardinal had bought all the buildings in the area except the
house of an old woman, Mrs. Moscetti, who had categorically refused to sell it.
The cardinal did, however, made his architects build the palace anyway,
incorporating the property of the old woman who found herself with her house
surrounded by a cardinal's palace
The original
palace was built on the now disappeared Piazza Rusticucci which used to be
between Via del Mascherino and Borgo Sant'Angelo
In the
seventeenth century the palace became the property of the Accoramboni family
It was
rebuilt approximately as it was here in 1950 with some original elements
