Perhaps the most exclusive dream home ever? A Renaissance palace, the Palazzo Orsini, connected to the top of an ancient Roman theatre is for sale in Rome for $42 million. Its asking price is thought to make it the most expensive property currently on sale in the Italian capital, and one of the most expensive in Europe. The 11,000 sq ft property has frescoed staterooms, a ballroom, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a library, a dining room, a terrace, a separate penthouse and cellars.
According to the Daily Mail: “The Palazzo Orsini in Rome is being sold by the family of an Anglo-American aristocrat who sheltered escaped Allied prisoners of war during the Second World War.”
The Palazzo Orsini is built on top of the still-standing stone and marble shell of the Theatre of Marcellus, dating from the 1st Century BC.
