History
Built in Piazza Colonna in front of Palazzo Chigi and the Colonna Antonina, built in 183 AD, Palazzo Ferrajoli is located in the area where the houses of Del Bufalo – Cancellieri, a family of ancient Roman nobility merged with the Cancellieri of Pistoia, originally stood. Related to the most distinguished Roman families, the Del Bufalo held civil office in the Curia and in Campidoglio, giving the name to the square that in the 500s was called the Cancellieri.
First rebuilt in 1561 by the architect Giacomo Della Porta, in 1602 the building was renovated by Francesco Paparelli taking on its current appearance. It was the home of other prelates, men of arms and cardinals.
In 1728 the building passed definitively to the Marquises Niccolini, following the marriage of one of Del Bufalo’s daughters.
During the Napoleonic empire, Cardinal Giuseppe Fesch, uncle of Napoleon Bonaparte and ambassador of France to Rome, lived there.
In 1850 it was bought by the Marquis Giuseppe Ferrajoli.
