Galleria Colonna van Rome
Beschrijving
Vanaf het allereerste begin was de Galerij opgevat als een grote bestuurskamer, die de overwinning van de christelijke vloot op de Turken in de Slag bij Lepanto in 1571 moest vieren. De bevelhebber van de pauselijke vloot, Marcantonio II Colonna, is talrijke malen afgebeeld in het gewelf van de Grote Zaal van de Galerij en in de Zaal van de Slagkolom. De Galerie bevat werken van Lorenzo Monaco, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Palma de Oude, Salviati, Bronzino, Tintoretto, Pietro da Cortona, Annibale Carracci (schilderij van De Beaneater), Guercino, Francesco Albani, Muziano en Guido Reni. Plafondfresco's van Filippo Gherardi, Giovanni Coli, Sebastiano Ricci en Giuseppe Bartolomeo Chiari vieren de rol van Marcantonio II Colonna in de slag bij Lepanto (1571).

Een echt juweel van de Romeinse barok, de Galleria Colonna werd halverwege de 17e eeuw gebouwd in opdracht van kardinaal Girolamo I Colonna en zijn neef Lorenzo Onofrio Colonna. Het werd in 1700 ingewijd door de zoon van Lorenzo Onofrio, Filips II. Het oorspronkelijke project is van de architect Antonio del Grande; het werd vervolgens geïntegreerd door Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Paolo Schor en Carlo Fontana in het laatste decennium van de 17e eeuw.

When Rome, do find time to visit this place. It is one of the best palaces open to the public. Unlike other galleries in the city, there's no need for reservations to enter Galleria Colonna. Walk-ins are warmly accommodated. Just check out the schedule. Ticket price varies depending on the premises that you want to visit. Marvel at its rooms and relax in the gardens. However, the place does get crowded, making it quite hard to take those much desired selfies. The place is very accessible by public transportation. It's located just a stone throw's away from the famous Trevi Fountain. Don't bring your own car. Parking in Rome's historic center is very difficult.
This is a beautiful palace with lovely gardens, artwork, interesting history, and a formidable gallery. The guides were very informed and excited to share their knowledge. Bonus points for all of the lovely benches and chairs to sit on everywhere! I loved how the family kept the crashed cannonball on the steps! We only stayed an hour and a half due to a busy schedule, and that was adequate, but it would have been nice to linger and enjoy at a more leisurely pace. One thing of note, the pass we purchased included a digital guide to Rome to use on our phones. It was a complete waste of money! Just purchase the entry tickets. A. It would be so much better to send access to this app a few days in advance, not just the evening before, as our visit to the Galleria was at the end of our trip, so we couldn’t use it for other sites visited during our trip. B. The Galleria Colonna wasn’t even part of the digital guide! We ended up purchasing the guide at the museum. C. It’s not very comprehensive. So that was a complete waste of $30 for the two of us
Sorry to write a bad review but you have to let people know that booking through Tripadvisor we discovered on site that the ticket to enter, made at the ticket office costs almost half of what I spent, plus it was not included the visit to the oldest apartment in the building and we spent another € 10.00 per person. I understand the cost of the presale but not nearly double, and it was never clear until I got the tickets.
I had an outstanding tour on Friday April 17th. Rebecca Harden was our excellent guide. Having been on many tours of stately homes and palaces in England Europe and the US, it was a pleasure to have such a knowledgeable, charming and engaging guide. I would highly recommend this tour, it is definitely worth the ticket cost. I really enjoyed Rebecca’s interesting and witty commentary.
A beautiful hidden gem in Rome. Such spectacular art work. Not a super busy gallery I think because not a lot of people know about it. We went in low season (March) and it wasn’t over crowded. I would highly recommend coming here to anyone.
Well maintained building, helpful and very knowledgeable staff who accompanied us throughout the visit
There is no value add to this company. They buy bulk tickets for entry then resell them at a high markup. We added at the museum additional rooms at a much lower cost. I recommend going but not paying extra.
How absolutely magnificent a real historical treasure 👌 An unforgettable experience filled with incredible paintings a real dive into the past
A grateful surprise! It is worth visiting the gallery!!!! The staff is super attentive and cordial!!! Super recommend!!!!!!
Dreadful experience! Never received the actual tickets. Only was sent a voucher to redeem for the actual tickets, which as fine, only there were no clear instructions on where to redeem the actual tickets. I was leading a group of 5 family members - who were looking to me to organize the experience. It was made out that I would get the actual tickets from the ‘redemption point’ first - which was fine - but then no info on where the redemption point was. I incorrectly assumed then no information was an indication that it was at the Galleria entrance, or adjacent, but there was nowhere. I ended up paying 153 Euros for the Viator tickets, then another $75 Euros for the ‘actual’ tickets on the door. The Galleria was excellent and is a hidden gem, so go see it. Just purchase tickets on the door! It was mid July and it was quiet enough.
