The palace is 11,000 square foot Photo: NICO MARZIALIYours For £26Million, An Italian Palazzo Built On Top Of A Mini Colosseum -- The Telegraph
The family of an Anglo-American aristocrat who sheltered escaped Allied prisoners of war during the Second World War is selling a £26million Renaissance palace grafted onto the top of an ancient Roman theatre.
Palazzo Orsini, in the centre of Rome, Italy, is being sold by the family of Iris Origo, whose book about her wartime experiences in Tuscany, 'War in the Val'D'Orcia, an Italian War Diary', is regarded as a classic.
The asking price is thought to make it the most expensive property currently on sale in the Italian capital, and one of the most expensive in Europe.
While Rome has dozens of magnificent palaces, they often remain in the same families for centuries and it is rare for one of them to be offered for sale.
The 11,000 square foot palace includes frescoed staterooms, a ballroom, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a library, a dining room, a terrace, a separate penthouse and cellars.
