Talk:Palazzo Farnese

Residence of Christina
Who sanctioned her stay in the palace in 1656? Was it the Pope or the Duke or Parma? --Ghirla-трёп- 22:58, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

"Four wonders of Rome"
The following text was added, in perfectly good faith. I've moved it here:

"In its time the "Cube of Farnese" was considered one of the four wonders of Rome, along with the "harpsichord of Borghese"."

There were many wonders of Rome, noted from the Middle Ages in Mirabilia Urbis Romae, but never four. Neither is there a special reason to pick out Palazzo Borghese, disguised under this sobriquet. If the imagined list is "Items in Rome with Nicknames", there are more than four. Not a help to the Wikipedia reader. --Wetman 00:35, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I took it from the Italian page as linked. Not living in Rome, I don't know whether the 4-line rhyme quoted in the linked page is familar to Romans; perhaps someone can tell us. Coughinink 12:58, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
