Lovingly restored to perfection, La Pinacoteca del Tesoriere is famed as the ancient city’s last remaining 17th century family-owned private palace. With its central location in Rome’s city centre, located between the Pantheon, the famous Piazza Navona and within walking distance to Piazza di Spagna, this spectacular palace houses a museum collection of more than 800 important masterpieces of Italian art, stunning statuary, frescoes and murals dating back to the 3rd century B.C. It is one of the very few location which houses a chapel for private and religious celebrations. Elegance, art and history make La Pinacoteca del Tesoriere the perfect venue for those looking to organize memorable events.
This exclusive location in the center of Rome is closed to the public, infact some refer to it as “the Hidden Treasure of Rome”.

It offers a total of 900 sqm of space for a total of 8 historical salons, all benefiting from natural daylight and equipped with wi-fi, basic audio/video equipment and of course, spectacular views over the city.
Alberto, how did La Pinacoteca del Tesoriere come to life?
I have always been very passionate about historical monumental palaces and I have gained a lot of experience in this field over the past couple of years. The idea was to combine my passion for preserving the eternal art and architecture of my native city Rome with transforming this magnificent palazzo into an exclusive event venue. Lovingly restored to perfection La Pinacoteca del Tesoriere represents a new addition to our expanding portfolio. Its uniqueness means that we are able to offer our clients a prestigious, a unique and a non accessible location where to organize their events.
What does La Pinacoteca del Tesoriere mean?
I chose this name because two members of the family that own this building have been the actual Treasurers of the Pope back in the 17th century. From 1640 to 1700 they gathered an extraordinary collection of art pieces to the point that today this spectacular palace houses a museum collection of more than 800 important masterpieces of Italian art, stunning statuary, murano chandeliers, frescoes and murals that create an atmosphere of unparalleled elegance.
Can you recall the most memorable event at La Pinacoteca del Tesoriere?
Every single event we organize and host at La Pinacoteca del Tesoriere is memorable due to the atmosphere of the location and the beauty of all the details that frame every single one of the eight salons. The flexibility of the 900sqm of space give our clients the possibility to create tailor made events which will be a unique and memorable experience for all the guests attending. By far the most memorable events have been two: the first was a 40th year celebration party of an important public institution for which La Pinacoteca del Tesoriere, was able, for the first time, to host a gala dinner for up to 350 people in combination with a fashion show taking place at the same time. The second one was an exhibition of a global brand of elevators that required to place and exhibit 8 large elevator cars inside our salons to be show-cased to their national and international clients.
Everything is possible at La Pinacoteca del Tesoriere, when performed with care and love for the art, like we do here.
Can you think of a funny request you have received?
A funny demand we received was to re-create the Dolce Vita theme by making a photo booth in the Guercino room and having a real vespa scooter with helemts brought into the historical salon.
Who would you recommend La Pinacoteca del Tesoriere to?
I would recommend our location to people who love art and embrace the concept of hosting an event in a roman palace which will become their own residence for that day. I would recommend it to people who like the concept of hosting an event in an era gone by, who understand the great value of all the details kept immaculately inside the venue and to those event, meeting and destination weddings planners who are looking for a unique, exclusive location which is not accessible to everybody. I would recommend it to those future couples wanting to get married in a “once in a lifetime” private historical palace, in one of the most romantic cities in the world, Rome.
Finally to all those sophisticated travellers, who are looking for a “ turn key service” in the organization of their entire event, who prefer an express cuisine and a fully tailor made event.
Sure! Our consecrated little chapel which was build in the late 1750 and was entirely painted by Passeri. It can be found inside the Sanctuary room, on the first floor. This is so unique and rare in Rome! Inside the chapel, guests can find all the family relics and memories and up to today it is still the family tradition to use the Chapel for their annual Christmas mass.
