Abstract
This palace - constructed between 1598 and 1618 - was designed by Carlo Maderno for Asdrubale di Alessandro Mattei, duke of Giove. The courtyard seems to be a tribute to ancient Rome as the Mattei were collectors of antiquities which they mainly placed in their villas and palaces contributing to maintain Rome's landscape as a palimpsest.
