The Brancaccio Palace is the last Roman Patrician Palace built in 1880 in the heart of the eternal city, Rome. Located on Colle Oppio, near Emperor Nero’s,”Domus Aurea” and the seven hills, between Colosseum and the famous Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. Princess Mary Elizabeth Field, american wife of Salvatore Brancaccio, in 1879 relied on architect Gaetano Koch the construction of the palace situated in a beautiful natural old park between roman ruins, centuries old plants and fountains, mixed by vegetable essence. In the Park you can also admire the small and charming Hunting Lodge turned into a Coffee House, rich of decorations and painted by Francesco Gay. Inside the Palace you can fild enchanting banquet rooms where Mary Elizabeth Field gave magnificent sumptuous parties also in honour of the King Umberto of Savoy. The same halls in 1969 have been completely restored and reserved for unforgettable private and public manifestations by the Roma Party Company that for more than 30 years has the honour to manage this artistic patrimony. Many important multinational firms like Honda, Shiseido, Palmolive, Coca Cola, Cristian Dior, Valentivo, Cartier, Lancome, and Mercedes Benz are our faithful customers. Today this Palace is considered as one of the most beautiful venue in Rome, where getting together is to find again the plasure for living.
Michelangelo is widely regarded as the most famous artist of the Italian Renaissance. Among his works are the “David” and “Pieta” statues and the Sistine Chapel frescoes. Painter, sculptor, architect and poet Michelangelo Buonarroti is considered one of the most talented artists of the Italian Renaissance, with works including the “David” and “Pieta” statues and the ceiling paintings of Rome’s Sistine Chapel, including the “Last Judgment”. Born to a family of moderate means in the banking business, Michelangelo became an apprentice to a painter before studying in the sculpture gardens of the powerful Medici family. What followed was a remarkable career as an artist, recognized in his own time for his artistic virtuosity. Michelangelo’s distinctive style: a muscular precision and reality combined with an almost lyrical beauty. Two relief sculptures that survive, “Battle of the Centaurs” and “Madonna Seated on a Step,” are testaments to his unique talent at the tender age of 16. Although he always considered himself a Florentine, Michelangelo lived most of his life in Rome, where he died at age 88.
Curators of the Prize are Dr. Francesco Saverio Russo and Salvatore Russo.
