Pamphili (often with the final
long i orthography,
Pamphilj) are one of the Papal families deeply entrenched in Roman politics of the 16th and 17th centuries. The Pamphilj originated in
Gubbio and went to Rome under the pontificate of
Innocent VIII (1484 – 1492). The Pamphilj pope was
Innocent X, who reigned from 1644-1655.
Palazzo Pamphilj, by the architects Girolamo Rainaldi and Francesco Borromini, is located in the heart of
Rione Parione, the Pamphili neighborhood of Rome, south of the church of
Sant'Agnese in Agone in
Piazza Navona. From 1652, on Saturdays and Sundays in August, the piazza was turned into a lake to celebrate the Pamphili family, a festival that was suppressed in 1866. Today, the palace functions as the Brazilian Embassy in Rome. The tomb of Innocent X is located in Sant'Agnese.
The Pamphilj bought the baronial palace in
Valmontone, a town near
Palestrina (
Rome) in the year
1634:
Camillo Pamphilj was determined to create a sort of new “ideal city”, so the palace and the main church were rebuilt and decorated by important
baroque artists, like the architect
Mattia de Rossi (who rose to prominence under the mentorship of
Bernini), and the painters
Pier Francesco Mola,
Gaspard Dughet,
Guglielmo Cortese,
Francesco Cozza and
Mattia Preti.
Olimpia Maidalchini, a resident of the Palazzo Pamphilj, was the mother of
Camillo Pamphilj who renounced his cardinalate to marry
Olimpia Aldobrandini, widow of
Paolo Borghese. Through his marriage, he came into the possession of the Palazzo Aldobrandini, now known as the
Palazzo Doria Pamphilj.
