Lonely Planet review for Palazzo Venezia

Built between 1455 and 1464, Palazzo Venezia was the first of Rome’s great Renaissance palaces. For centuries it served as the embassy of the Venetian Republic, although its best known resident was Mussolini, who used the vast Sala del Mappamondo as his office and famously made speeches from the balcony overlooking the square. Nowadays, the palazzo houses the Museo del Palazzo Venezia, with its superb Byzantine and early Renaissance paintings and an eclectic collection of jewellery, tapestries, ceramics, bronze figurines, arms and armour.
