Описание: The Farnese collection is probably the most famous among Roman antiquities collections and it is fully rooted in the Renaissance milieu. It was created thanks to the firm policy of acquisitions carried out by the powerful Roman family through various means: antiquarian market deals, confiscations and archaeological digs, which all proved important sources of precious marbles and sculptures for the decoration of the family manors. The collection was started by Alexander Farnese, who became Pope Paul III in 1534. His nephews, the cardinals Alexander and Odoard, significantly contributed to enrich it, also incorporating conspicuous bequests. In particular, the famous sardonyx bowl, which came into possession of Margaret of Austria, widow first of Alexander Medici and later of Octavius Farnese, as well as the collection created by Fulvio Orsini, who was a numismatic, a librarian and an antiquarian on behalf of the Farnese family and was himself an amateur collector of gemstones, busts, coins and antique books.
