History and description
The Palazzo Mengarini (also called the Palazzo Mengarini Albertini or the Palazzo Mengarini Albertini Carandini) was commissioned by Guglielmo Mengarini in the 19th century. The architect was Gaetano Koch.
From 1915 it was owned by Luigi Albertini (director of the newspaper Corriere della Sera), who left it to his daughter Elena in 1941. The latter was married to Count Nicolò Carandini, which explains the building’s final name.
Today the building is the Roman residence of the Agnelli family, owners of FIAT.
In remote antiquity, a Sabine settlement was located on the site of the palace.
