Maffero Barberini—who became Pope Urban VIII in 1623—commissioned three of the 16th century’s greatest architects to refashion a villa belonging to the Sforza family into a palatial residence for his family. Various master architects worked on the interiors through the 18th century, and the descendants of Maffero lived in the Barberini Palace until 1955.
