Ornate window #2
In 2015, by using Google Street View to walk the same route I took through the streets of Rome when I took this photo in 1994, I have finally pinpointed the location of this building and found its history. It is located at 3 Via di Capa le Case. It was built in the early 18th Century and is known by various names - the Centini Toni building after the second and third owners (Count Felice Centini and the Toni family), Toni Palace, and House of the Puppets because of the caryatids that frame its five second story windows. Both Centini and the Toni family did restoration work on the building. A plaque on the wall visible from Google Street View reads PROPRIETA TONI with the Roman Numerals MDCCXCIII below and underneath that RESTAURATA MDCCCLXXXVI. The first date,1793 is the date it was acquired by the Toni family and the second, 1886, the date it was restored by the family. Rome, Italy. Scanned 35mm negative (E009)
