Navona Palace Luxury Inn

The Foppa Family's Palace, is located in the District VI Parione, bordering with the District VII Ponte. During the Renaissance Age, this area was characterised by the presence of lots of workshops where many artisans manufactured precious and other important metals to obtain thin gold leaves and various metal foils. That area was also known as Contrada del Trivio dei Parenti taking its name from a famous family that owned some important properties in the area, also known under the name of s. S. Biagio de Circlo, from a church situated near S. Maria della Pace, also called S. Biagio alla Pace or alla Fossa, that was afterwards destroyed in 1820. In the XVI century, the square overlooking the Palace, called Piazza del Fico, became part of the possessions of a noble man, called Giovanni Paolo Foppa, who came from Bergamo to Rome as he had obtained the Roman citizenship. Piazza del Fico took its name by the presence of a fig tree therein.
