Abbrescia Santinelli

One of the most extraordinary Italian private collections

An extraordinary palazzo on the Quirinal Hill, with decorations by artists the likes of Orazio Gentileschi, Guido Reni (the Casino features his splendid Aurora fresco), Agostino Tassi, and Domenichino. The collection of over six hundred paintings (studied and catalogued for the first time by Federico Zeri) remains the largest private collection of Old Master painting in Italy.
