Palazzo Chigi Ariccia

Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Interesting conglomeration of museum spaces and historical rooms dedicated to telling the story of the influential Chigi family. The Chigi family traces their origins back to the 13thC, and became massively rich, banking in the Renaissance. This reflects that wealth with a series of beautiful and tasteful rooms, expensively decorated but never over the top. The wealth is also displayed in a series of Renaissance and Baroque art from family collections. Links to other wealthy Italian families are in display, including the Borghese. Well worth a visit, we spent about two hours wandering through the three floors of the and enjoyed the experience. Many beautiful paintings, not just by Italian painters but also by a Dutch portrait master, Jacob Voet. It closes for a while each afternoon, so time your arrival. Went for the berlini art gallery show. The was amazing. It's amazing how they tried to restore the to it's original state. Fascinating guided tour around here. Interesting history & rooms in great condition. Really wonderful 👌❣️ Not really worth visiting as little items of value and very badly kept that once must have been grand. The gardens are not accessible thus making it less memorable. Local weddings on a Saturday noon time add to the lack of enjoyment of the place especially when paying a ticket to enter. There is an exhibition of art from the baroque period that is not of much value. Incredibile display of art, architecture, decoration and history in a breathtaking building. Visit needed 2 days for us, one for the ancient residence and one for the baroque painting museum. Incredible quality and a truly extensive display of the Roman Baroque at its best Only the first two floors took us almost 2 hours, and we only eneltered the 3rd floor when we realized we will need few more hours, so we must get back here in the future. The exhibations are amazing. It would be nice if there would have been an English guided tour or audio. The staff was helpfull and welcoming. If you are not sure between the pope to this one - select this one. Far more interesting and loaded with art and history. I used to come to Ariccia as a child when it was still privately owned so never got the opportunity to see this incredible with so much history. The Bernini influence is clear. The guided tour was excellent and very informative. The papal family connection with Pope Alessandro VII gives it the grandeur and rightful place in history. The pope of the time influenced the decision to develop Castelgandolfo as the Papal summer residence. The whole area and this is worth a visit Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
