Who sanctioned her stay in the palace in 1656? Was it the Pope or the Duke or Parma? --Ghirla^-трёп- 22:58, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The following text was added, in perfectly good faith. I've moved it here:

"In its time the "Cube of Farnese" was considered one of the four wonders of Rome, along with the "harpsichord of Borghese"[1]."

There were many wonders of Rome, noted from the Middle Ages in Mirabilia Urbis Romae, but never four. Neither is there a special reason to pick out Palazzo Borghese, disguised under this sobriquet. If the imagined list is "Items in Rome with Nicknames", there are more than four. Not a help to the Wikipedia reader. --Wetman 00:35, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I took it from the Italian page as linked. Not living in Rome, I don't know whether the 4-line rhyme quoted in the linked page is familar to Romans; perhaps someone can tell us. Coughinink 12:58, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've been told to wirte a message on this talk about a link I wish to add to the page. The links takes to a website that I am creating with views of Rome from past centuries. Books about Rome and othe useful information. I was linking to the page dedicated to Palazzo Farnese where I added three beatuful prints from the 18° and 19° century and will add more as soon as I have time to scan them. This is the link: http://www.romanbookshelf.com/prints/Farnese%20Palace/Farnese.html. Let me know what you think about it and if you believe it could be a good one to add to Palazzo Farnese's page. Thank you. Oct. 26th, 2007

Article says the palazzo was first designed in 1517 but it also says construction began in 1515. Please reconcile. Chemyanda (talk) 15:23, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
