Lonely Planet review

The seat of the Italian Senate since 1871, Palazzo Madama was originally the 16th-century townhouse of Giovanni de' Medici. It was enlarged in the 17th century, when the baroque façade was added together with the decorative frieze of cherubs and bunches of fruit. The name 'Madama' is a reference to Margaret of Parma, the illegitimate daughter of Charles V, who lived here from 1559 to 1567.
