Palazzo Grazioli. A deceptively simple name for a building that holds centuries of stories within its walls. Located on Via del Plebiscito, this grand palazzo is more than just a pretty facade. It’s a silent witness to the ebb and flow of Roman history. Imagine yourself stepping back in time, to the 16th century. The palazzo we see today began its life much earlier, thanks to the architect Giacomo della Porta. He built it for the Ercolani family. Over the years, Palazzo Grazioli has played host to ambassadors, dukes, even a Spanish Infanta. But it’s the whisper of a more recent resident that often draws curious glances. From 1995 to 2021, one floor of this historic building was home to former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. It was here, within these very walls, that he made political decisions that reverberated across Italy and beyond. While we can’t peek inside, the thought of such history adds an extra layer of intrigue to Palazzo Grazioli, wouldn’t you say?
