From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Camerino Farnese is a small room in the Palazzo Farnese in Rome, Italy. It is most famous for its decoration by the Italian Baroque painter Annibale Caracci in the early 17th century. The room was commissioned by Cardinal Odoardo Farnese, who wanted a private space to display his collection of art and antiquities and also serve as a statement of the glory of the Farnese family. The Camerino is on the first, or principal, floor of the Palazzo Farnese, and measures slightly more than fifteen by thirty feet. The Palazzo Farnese, which takes up a whole city block, is still Rome's biggest private residence.
