Palazzo Farnese: Gem of the Roman Renaissance is a tour worth waiting a decade
I waited 10 years to tour Palazzo Farnese, the beautiful Renaissance Palace that’s home to the French Embassy here in Rome. Tours were always booked. I finally got in recently and it was worth the wait. The entrance alone with giant marble columns taken from Egypt were worth it alone. Inside is art that can rival some in the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo’s fingerprints are all over the palace. Too bad there’s a major cleanup on the facade. The entire building is covered with scaffolding.
