Synopsis: The Palazzo Venezia was the first major Renaissance palace to be built in Rome. It was commissioned by the wealthy Venetian Pietro Barbo, to lie alongside the Basilica of San Marco, where he was Cardinal Bishop. When Cardinal Barbo was elected to become Pope Paul 11, he enlarged the residence into a monumental papal palace. Traces its early development, when it lay on the outskirts of Rome, before it was enveloped by the modern city.
