Palazzo delle Pietre
Rome, ItalyNestled in the heart of Rome, Palazzo delle Pietre stands as a testament to the city's rich architectural heritage and modern sophistication. This remarkable 15th-century residence, built on the historic site of Nero's Baths, has been thoughtfully restored to create an unforgettable luxury experience. The Mazzi family, who acquired the property in 2012, has masterfully preserved its historical essence while integrating contemporary comforts.
What makes this palazzo truly exceptional is its stunning collection of archaeological fragments and precious marble pieces, carefully curated from the family's private collection spanning the Imperial Age through the Renaissance. The collection, which began with great passion at the end of the 19th century, has continued to grow through Carlo Mazzi's careful acquisitions from prestigious antiques dealers. Each stone tells its own story, bearing witness to the glorious eras of Italy's history, from Imperial Rome through the Middle Ages to the splendid Renaissance.
The property creates a unique atmosphere where ancient wooden doors and inlaid friezes coexist with sophisticated modern furnishings, all enriched by the precious ancient stones donated by Carlo Mazzi himself. The restoration has preserved original elements like hand-painted ceilings that engage in an exquisite interplay with the veining in the marble flooring. Throughout the palazzo, indigenous Dolomite stone and traditional fabrics create an atmosphere of authenticity that whispers tales of tradition and serenity.
The eight prestigious apartments have been meticulously designed to offer a refined, timeless atmosphere that brings together original elements from ancient times with contemporary design. Each space showcases sophisticated furnishings from contemporary masters, carefully selected to complement the historical features. Modern Italian design pieces by prestigious brands like De Padova and Alivar harmonize perfectly with the archaeological treasures and surviving relics of the palazzo's 15th-century structure.
