National Museum of Venezia Palace, Rome
The National Museum of Venezia Palace in Rome is located on the Piazza Venezia. The palace itself was built in 1455 during the time of Pope Paul II. Then the palazzo was named after St. Mark. Since 1564 and to this day the palace is named Palazzo Venezia. In that year the building was passed to the Republic of Venice and transformed into an embassy. In 1921, within the walls of the palazzo, the National Museum of Art was opened.
From 1929 to 1943 the palazzo of Venice was the headquarters of the fascist forces. After the Second World War, the halls of the museum were replenished with collections of arts, including sculptures made of terracotta and bronze. Collectors also donated their collections to the museum. It was during this period that the Museum experienced its best years.
