Taverna Palace

Palazzo Taverna is the ideal venue for hosting weddings, cocktails, business meals, meetings and exclusive work encounters.

The catering service is personally curated by Stefanina Aldobrandini, who, for over 20 years, has recreated an atmosphere of splendor and efficiency reminiscent of the hospitality of grand private homes of times past, thanks to highly qualified staff and the use of linens, porcelain, antique silverware and period livery.

The residence is located in the heart of Rome, between Piazza Navona and Castel Sant’Angelo.

History

Palazzo Taverna, mentioned by Dante in the Divine Comedy, was built in the 15th century on the ruins of Giordano Orsini’s fortress, where the family dominated the area to the banks of the Tiber river.

The palace then became the focal point for the family’s “representation” policy and was the residence of ambassadors and cardinals: Ippolito d’Este received Bernardo and Torquato Tasso there, while Cardinal Luciano Bonaparte hosted Empress Eugenia and Father Gioacchino Belli.

Bought by Maurice of Savoy, who endeavored to embellish it, Palazzo Taverna subsequently passed (in the early 1600s) to the Gabrielli, who gave it its current appearance. Finally, the last change of ownership saw the Palazzo coming into the ownership of the Taverna family.
