They' ve lived here for 700 years, and in the 13th and 14th centuries, they were one of the two warring families fighting for control of Rome' s streets. But in 1417, the Colonna family pulled off a major triumph. After centuries of dominating Rome with their private armies and wealth, these swaggering warlords were about to play a decisive role in restoring the papacy and the city. There was one way to harness their violent power. To elect a member of the family as pope. And to this day, the palace displays a special piece of furniture to mark this triumph. This is the throne room. Every dynasty with a pope in the family had one just like this for when future popes came to visit. And here' s the throne itself. But as you can see, it' s facing the wrong way round, and that' s because it was only turned to face in the right way when there was a pope actually here to sit on it. |
