Quel est l'histoire de la propriété ?
The Residenza Napoleone III is located in the historical Palazzo Ruspoli. The Palazzo was bought in 1583, by Orazio Rucellai, a member of the noble Florentine family that had made Rome the center of its financial policies in the train of Cardinal Piero Rucellai, thanks to the two Medici popes, Leo X and Clement VII. In 1627, two years after his brother Luigi’s death, Ferdinando Rucellai sold the great mansion to the Caetani of Sermoneta for 51,500 florins.
This old family, which boasted prelates, men of arms, and diplomats among its members, In 1713 the nobility of the Palazzo was again enhanced when it was rented by the Ruspoli family, who were of Florentine origin but had been in Rome since the fourteenth century.
They were the marquises of Cerveteri, and, from 1709, princes, starting with Francesco Maria (1672-1731).
The Ruspoli were financially secure when they bought the property, concluding the sale in 1776 and starting improvements on it immediately thereafter.
It was with the Ruspoli family that the most refined and triumphant period of its history would take place. The palace still belongs to them.

The main feature of the Ruspoli Palace was its great staircase.
Each of its four flights was made up of thirty monolithic marble steps that rose from the portico on the side facing Largo Goldoni.
It was popularly considered one of the “four marvels” of Rome, along with the Borghese Cembalo, the Farnese Dado, and the portal of the Sciarra Colonna.
It was built in 1640 by the Caetani family, the third owners of the building which at that time already had its own history.
The original structure dates back to 1556 when Francesco Iacobilli had it built on the area at the corner of Via del Corso, Via della Fontanella Borghese, Via del Leoncino and Piazza San Lorenzo in Lucina.
The architect was probably Nanni di Baccio Bigio.
