GALLERIA DEGLI ARAZZI
Gallery containing a beautiful collection of tapestries in Rome.
Since 1838, this gallery has housed a collection of tapestries. The tapestries opposite the windows are from the "old school" and were smoothed in Brussels in the 16th century, based on cartoons from the Raphael school; the last two are from the Flemish school. The tapestries on the window side are of the "new school", and were woven in Brussels in the 17th century. All depict scenes from the life of Christ. Note on several tapestries the bee emblem of the Barberini family, commissioned by Cardinal Barberini in 1627.
