A photograph of Palazzo Vidoni Caffarelli, a building in the centre of Rome, executed possibly on Raphael's project, with the involvement of Lorenzo Lotti (Lorenzetto).
This palace was commissioned by Bernardino Caffarelli and erected between 1515 and 1538, with the inclusion of other older buildings. In the 18th century the palace was bought by Cardinal Vidoni (hence its current name) who enlarged it and it was later acquired by the Giustiani Bandini family. The Palace is decorated with 16th century frescoes (in the Charles V room) possibly executed by the school of Perin del Vaga and with other frescoes by Roman artists of the 18th century.
