Lonely Planet review for Palazzo di Montecitorio

Home to Italy’s Chamber of Deputies, this baroque palazzo was built by Bernini in 1653, expanded by Carlo Fontana in the late 17th century and given an Art Nouveau facelift in 1918. Visits take in the palazzo’s lavish reception rooms and the main chamber where the 635 deputies debate beneath a beautiful Art Nouveau skyline. The obelisk outside was brought from Heliopolis in Egypt by Augustus to celebrate victory over Cleopatra and Mark Antony in 30 BC.
