'600 Palace in Via di Campo Marzio The palace, with eighteenth-century façade, was founded in 1615 and has recently been established - but should be fully restored; consists of 2,500 square meters on five floors plus basement and a fascinating archaeological, panoramic penthouse.

Fourth and fifth floor have large terraces and beautiful windows facing west to the east. The first three floors develop along three sides of the courtyard and are connected by a staircase classic, but on the opposite side at the entrance, even from a small-scale spiral. There are traces of shelters to restored. On the road, each of the three floors has two large dining rooms with ceilings very high. On the ground floor, two shops on the road producing more than € 200,000 a year. The front door opens onto a corridor which leads to the beautiful staircase and courtyard; you can go plunging into another dimension of time: a passage from suspended you can admire the only portion to today revealed an incredible monument than two thousand years ago.

The Augustan Meridiana was created to celebrate the triumph of the emperor returned victorious from a war campaign. Embedded in the marble - from the same quarry from which seventy years Later, the marbles will be extracted to the coatings of the Colosseum - recognize crisp under a veil of water the Greek and Latin literature in bronze, which marked the passage of time in several dimensions, including the Zodiac. Such disclosure must be the intervention of German archaeologists of the Superintendent Berlin acknowledged that the current owner an interlocutor illuminated. From the plates affixed to illustrate the original conformation and the extraordinary extension of the monument, invisible and unknown to most of our contemporaries, we can deduce the operation of the Sundial, whose gnomon was the obelisk that now faces Deputies proceeded through its shadow enrollment up to the mark 12 when pointing towards the Ara Pacis - also in very different from the actual position.

The entire structure will have to undergo extensive remediation and restoration able to ennoble the panoramic top floor, giving new meaning to the great halls of the plans nobles, and the entrance to the staircase, whose niches can accommodate modern artwork or recreate the old style. However, more than anything else we hope that the new owners can put to work by hand appreciation of the court: wallow in fantasy, not really utopian, it demolished the existing floor of the courtyard to reveal a further portion of the Meridian, thereby making it even more valuable the experience of living the palace.
