About the Colonna Gallery‍

The Colonna Gallery, or 'Galleria Colonna' is a vast private art collection belonging to the Colonna family and located in the 'Palazzo Colonna'. The palace itself is still owned by the Colonna family and is one of the largest private palaces in Rome dating back to the 13th century.

The collection includes paintings, sculptures and decorative arts from the Renaissance to the Baroque period and has been open to the public since the 18th century!

Accumulated by the Colonna family over generations, the collection includes works by renowned artists such as:

• Pinturicchio

Some of the notable artworks in the Colonna Gallery include:

The collection is known for its diverse range. The art collection aside, the Palazzo Colonna itself is a masterpiece of architecture. Visitors can see incredible frescoed ceilings, grand halls, and opulent decorations at the palace.
