Palazzo Pamphilj in Albano Laziale, near Rome, is an eighteenth-century Rococo palace built between 1708 and 1717 by Cardinal Benedetto Pamphilj, who constructed it atop earlier seventeenth-century country houses within the planned urban expansion of the city. The palace passed to the Piarist fathers of Rome's Nazarene College in 1764 and served as a summer residence for the college's students until 1944, when it was converted to shelter war-displaced families. Though recognized as a notable example of patrician architecture in the Alban Hills and documented in scholarly study, the building currently remains in private hands and in severe disrepair.
