The Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica is located on two sites; the Palazzo Corsini and the Palazzo Barberini. One of the grandest palaces in Rome, the Palazzo Barberini was built in the early seventeenth century, showing the architectural influence and design of Maderno, Borromini and Bernini. The interior is equally impressive, featuring the most famous work of Pietro da Cortona on the ceiling of the Salone, which took six years to complete. The Barberini collection is mainly of Italian painting of the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries with works by Fra Angelico, Filippo Lippi, Lorenzo Lotto, Andrea del Sarto, Perugino, Caravaggio, Canaletto and Raphael.
