The monumental complex of Villa Altieri was built in 1660 for Cardinal Paluzzo Albertoni Altieri, nephew of Pope Clement X and, today, houses the Library of the Metropolitan City with the Historical Archive. The exhibition Loggia has a particular visual and emotional impact, not only for the presence of sculptural works from the archaeological era, but also for the glass flooring designed to enjoy the beauty of the ancient cobbled floor of the Villa and the remains of some archaeological stratifications that emerged during the restoration works.
