Lonely Planet review for Palazzo Madama
Seat of the Italian Senate since 1871, Palazzo Madama was originally the 16th-century town house of Giovanni de’ Medici. It was enlarged in the 17th century, when the baroque façade was added together with the decorative frieze. The name ‘Madama’ is a reference to Margaret of Parma, the illegitimate daughter of Charles V, who lived here from 1559 to 1567.
