Palazzo Grazioli is a building situated at Via del Plebiscito 102 between thePalazzo Doria Pamphili andPalazzo Altieri inRome,Italy. It's located in an area rich in archaeological remains of ancient Rome, which has been the result of numerous modifications and restoration works carried out by several noble Roman families who lived there over the centuries.
The oldest sources connect the palace to the Ercolani family and was initially built byGiacomo della Porta. The family ofLuigi Gottifredi, a priest of theSociety of Jesus, who settled there, made a radical renovation employingCamillo Arcucci, an architect of the Roman Baroque, in the years 1645 to 1650. In the early 19th century, the palace was the residence of the Ambassador of Austria and then the Infanta of Spain andDuchess of Lucca,Maria Luisa of Bourbon-Spain who died there in 1824. It was later acquired by Commander Grazioli, then Baron of Castelporziano and Duke ofSanta Croce di Magliano, who in 1863 entrusted the restoration which ended in 1874.
The facade of the building on Via del Plebiscito is decorated withpilasters with capitals. At the center of it opens the door flanked by two Doric columns of gray granite and topped by a balcony.
