The aim of this study is to examine the changing function of the Palazzo di Venezia in the historical centre of Rome. I will investigate the factors that have influenced the historical road of this imposing Renaissance-style palace from the quattrocento to the 21th century. I am looking for answers to the question of how the building has become a tool for cultural, diplomatic, political and representational purposes over the centuries, i.e. how the role of the building, the spatial structure of the area and the historical significance of the place has been transformed. I will ask why Cardinal Pietro Barbo, later Pope Paul II, from a wealthy Venetian merchant family, began building the palazzo and how he changed its function when he took the throne of St. Peter. I will look at how the building is associated with the humanist polymath Desiderius Erasmus, the Holy Roman Emperor of the German Nation Charles V and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of the Viennese classics. I will explore how the Republic of Venice and Habsburg Monarchy put the palace at the service of diplomacy after the death of Pope Paul II. I am following the traces of the stormy 20th century on the life of this 15th century residence. I will also highlight how the Palazzo di Venezia, transformed into a memorial institution in 1916, reopened to the public after a major caesura – when the building was used by Mussolini as a fascist government centre – and then given its own autonomy in 2020. The Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Venezia has created a collection concept that is integrated into the institutional sphere of the Polo Museale del Lazio. I will show the perspectives opened up by the merger with the Museo Centrale del Risorgimento, an institution that focuses on Italian unity, for the Palazzo, which has a specific historical, artistic, cultural and intangible heritage. Finally, I will explore the innovative functions of the collection that the museum complex under its new name – Il Vittoriano e Venezia (VIVE) – has endowed in the 21st century.
