"In all my trips to Rome, I had never seen this absolutely breathtaking city palace, begun in the 13th century on the site of a Roman temple and now containing enfilades of rooms of great magnificence hung with breathtaking paintings and containing objects of art and furniture that often pay tribute to the Colonna family’s role in the battle of Lepanto in 1571. The palazzo was made more splendid still in the early 20th century, when the Lebanese-born Princess Isabelle Colonna (née Sursock) deemed the 17th-century floors too poor and had lavish marble examples installed instead." - Hamish Bowles
