Description

Piazza del Campidoglio

Piazza del Campidoglio is located on top of the Capitol Hill in Rome, where Roman Divinities were once praised and nowadays it is the headquarters of the Italian Government.

The current structure is dated to 1560, as a result of the project by Michelangelo Buonarroti inspired by pre-existent buildings. Michelangelo came up with an original, trapezoidal design for the square with an intriguing oval shaped ground pattern. The access to the Piazza is through a majestic flight of steps, and the square contains 3 main buildings.

Palazzo Senatorio (centre of the square) was completed by Giacomo dalla Porta and Girolamo Rinaldi between 1582 and 1605). Palazzo dei Conservatori (on the right side of the square), build by Guidetto Guidetti and Giacomo Dalla Porta in 1568, following original drawings by Michelangelo. Palazzo Nuovo (on the left side of the square), build by the Rinaldi brothers in 1655 again following original drawings by Michelangelo.

Construction of the square started in 1546 but only the staircase at the entrance of the Palazzo Senatorio was realized when Michelangelo died in 1564. The project was finally completed in the seventeenth century according to Michelangelo's designs.
