The building is also home to the Central Institute for Sound and Audiovisual Assets. (formerly the State Record Library), the’.Historical Institute for Modern and Contemporary Ages. and the Center for American Studies<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n On the Mattei Palace of Jupiter cf: Claudio Varagnoli, Sixteenth-century heritage and openness to the new in the construction of Mattei di Giove Palace in Rome, <\/b>in “Annals of Architecture,” 1998-1999, no. On the building and the surrounding area cf: Michelangiolo Prunetti, L’osservatore delle Belle Arti in Roma ossia Esame analitico de’ monumenti antichi, e moderni spettanti alla pittura, scultura, e architettura tuttora esistenti nelle chiese, gallerie, ville, ed altri luoghi dell’alma citt\u00e0 di Roma.
\nReading rooms and offices are located on the second floor, while the Emeroteca is on the ground floor, with access from the second courtyard.
\nInformation services and online catalogs are available both on the second floor and in the Emeroteca.
\nPaper catalogs and lending service are available only on the second floor.
\nBook deposits occupy various spaces within the same building.
\nA sundial made in the second half of the 18th century by Duke Giuseppe IV Mattei is installed on the floor of the Library’s management office (see M. Tschinke, Duke Mattei’s Sundial, “Academies and Libraries of Italy,” 2012).<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\nThe palace<\/h2>\n
\nWork began in 1598 and was completed in about twenty years.
\nThe building was the last to be constructed of the five palaces constituting the “insula Mattei.”
\nMade of brick and travertine, it has facades of late 16th-century form, three stories high, finished with a cornice adorned with the heraldic motifs of the family, and is crowned by a reredos with a loggia <\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/bsmc.cultura.gov.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6_archi-225x300.jpg\")
The palace’s two courtyards and staircase are adorned with ancient sculptures, reliefs and vases, mostly from archaeological excavations carried out on the Mattei family’s estates.
\nThe complex of antiquities still preserved inside constituted one of the most valuable collections of ancient marbles among the private collections existing in Rome.
\nThe rooms of the palace, especially those on the main floor, which house the Center for American Studies, have vaults painted by the most eminent artists active in Rome in the early 17th century, such as Francesco Albani (Biblical Stories), Gaspare Celio, Cristoforo Greppi, Giovanni Lanfranco, and Pietro da Cortona (Stories of Solomon).
\nThe paintings that adorned the many rooms and the gallery are now preserved at the National Gallery of Ancient Art in Palazzo Barberini. <\/span><\/p>\n
