The
building was once the seat of the embassy
of the Republic of Venice (1564-1797), then
of France (from 1797) and later Austria
(from 1814).
The
fifteenth-century Palazzo Venezia, a splendid
example of a Roman noble palace with Tuscan
influences attributed to the work of Leon
Battista Alberti.
It
has been the home of the National Museum
since 1916 (the year when it was returned to the
Italian State ).
The museum is named after the building.Rich
and varied collections of medieval art and
from the early renaissance from various private
collections have merged in the museum.
Subsequent
to an initial partial opening in 1921, which was
supervised by Federico Hermanin, and until the end
of the Second World War, the Museum
was forced to coexist with the occupation of the
Fascist government which used the Appartamento
Barbo (currently used as an exhibition area)
as state rooms and those of the Appartamento
Cybo as the private residence of the
Duce.
Even
though the museum benefited from an arrangement
adapted for its wealthy collections since 1936,
it was closed to the public during its occupation
for security reasons, therefore it did not attain
the fame that it deserved.
This
problem still affects it today, and it has tried
to find a solution with the museum reorganization
that started at the beginning of the '90S and is
not yet complete.
The
current tour features three large sections which
correspond to the architectural articulation of
the palace.
The Appartamento Cybo houses items from
the medieval period and a rich collection
of paintings from XIII to XVIII century which is
divided by geographic areas.
Particular
attention is given to the paintings from the regions
in central-northern Italy from the Sterbini collection;
masterpieces by Pisanello, Gozzoli,
Giorgione, Borgianni, Solimena
and Maratta thus alternate with monumental
examples of thirteenth-century painted crosses,
valuable manufactured articles of medieval jewellery
(for example the Cross in rock crystal from the
othonian era), diptychs and Byzantine ivory
boxes, architectural-sculptural elements
tied to the local tradition of Roman marble workers
(like the marble transenna by Giovanni di
Stejano of 1372 from the Ara Coeli), large fifteenth-century
wooden chests and valuable examples of Latium
wood sculpture from the thirteenth century such
as the polychrome Vergine col Bambino (known
as di Acute).
The halls of the adjacent Palazzetto Venezia
house very wealthy collections of small renaissance
bronzes from the collection of Roman antique
dealer Alfredo Barsanti and ambassador Giacinto
Auriti (with works by Riccio, Giambologna and Francesco
Mochi) and also the very interesting collection
of terra cotta models most of which once
belonged to opera singer Evan Gorgo from the Cavaceppi
collection, some experiments by Bernini (the Moro,
study for the
fountain in Piazza Navona
and l'Angelo col titolo for Ponte
Sant'Angelo) and by Algardi, both masters who
crucial innovations to the field of teaching through
the number of followers widely represented in
the museum, are he most interesting pieces which
the collection boasts.
The
so-called Passagio dei Cardinali acts as
a link between the two sections old patrol trench
was covered in the eighteenth century,here Room
is given to the sections dedicated to ceramics and
chinaware datable between VIII and XIX century.
There
are several particular collections in the museum,
for example; a consistent nucleus of Roman and
Latium artefacts from the early Middle Ages
(small jugs, special plates used for
bread) and the complete collection of domestic ceramic
typologies in use in different Italian geographic
areas until the early fifteenth century tell the
story of the origins of works which achieved great
success from the XVI until the XVIII century (compare
the manufactured articles of Deruta, Faenza,
Montelupo, Savona, Genova and
Albissola, and the Dutch work of wide panorama
of chinaware from European factories from the early
years of XX century is offered by pieces from
the factory of Meissen (specialized in small
polychrome sculptures and 19S which were also decorative),
from the factory of Vienna, Sèvres, Paris and also
from the Imperial Factory of St. Petersburg
and Moscow Factory of Popoff for foreign
countries (with a small of oriental chinaware) while
Italian production is represented the Factories
of Capodimonte, Buen Retiro, the Real Factory of
Naples and the Tuscan factory of Doccia.
The museum, which has but precious collection
of tapestries produced in Brussels, the beautiful
ceiling fresco painted by Giorgio Vasari in 1553
for the loggia of the Palazzo owned at the time
by the powerful banker Bindo Altoviti.
It
was saved from destruction in 1888 when work was
beeing done on the embankments of the Tiber river,
it is now located and named after the Appartamento
Cybo.
Instead,
the collection of Odescalchi arms which gathers
over 1200 pieces and which recounts the history
of the evolution of instruments used for military
attacks from the IX century to the XIX century,
is still undergoing preparation.
