Piazza del Campidoglio, 00186 Roma - Monte Capitolino / Mons Capitolinus · Campitelli, CENTRO ANTICA, Italy
The existing design of the Piazza del Campidoglio and the surrounding palazzi was created by Renaissance artist and architect Michelangelo Buonarroti in 1536-1546.
Michelangelo remodelled the surrounding palazzi and reversed the classical orientation of the Capitoline, in a symbolic gesture turning Rome’s civic center to face away from the Roman Forum and instead in the direction of Papal Rome and the Christian church in the form of St. Peter’s Basilica.
