context_page_description: The Rospigliosi family is an ancient noble Italian family from Pistoia. Attested since the Middle Ages, it became wealthy through agriculture, trade and industry, reaching the apogee of its power and the high nobility status in Rome thanks to Giulio Rospigliosi, elected pope in 1667 with the name of Clement IX.
context_section_description: The Rospigliosi owned many buildings, in Pistoia, Rome and their surroundings. In the Tuscan city the family resided in the two historical mansions named Palazzo Rospigliosi a via del Duca and Palazzo Rospigliosi a Ripa del Sale. The former, originally the residence of the noble Ammannati family, and then bought by the Malaspina, was so named after that the family acquired in 1667 the title of duchy of Zagarolo. It was acquired at the middle of the 16th century by Girolamo Rospigliosi, and there were born his sons Camillo and Giulio, the future Clement IX. The palace at Ripa del Sale was erected between the middle of 16th and the beginning of 17th century by Gianbattista Bati Rospigliosi, and has been always the seat of this branch of the family until its extinction in 1981. In Rome, they owned the magnificent Palazzo Pallavicini Rospigliosi on the Quirinal Hill, in the Rione Monti. This building, originally belonged to the Borghese, was purchased in 1704 by Prince Giovanni Battista Rospigliosi, Camillo's son and nephew of Pope Clement IX, and his wife, Princess Maria Camilla Pallavicini, and became home of the Rospigliosi Pallavicini family, who still owns the half of it, while the other half was sold to escape the financial ruin due to the attempt of reclaiming the swamps of Maccarese, near Rome.
  Also noteworthy are the Villa Rospigliosi at the hamlet Spicchio di Lamporecchio, commissioned by the Pope himself, and built according to a design of Bernini by Mattia de Rossi, the Palazzo Rospigliosi at Zagarolo, near Rome, the Palazzo Rospigliosi-Pallavicini in Florence, and the Palazzo Rospigliosi Banchieri in Pistoia.
