House of Febo Brigotti


The House di Febo Brigotti is a Renaissance house located on Via dei Corridori 44, in the Borgo rione of Rome.

History

Originally located in Borgo Nuovo 106-107, it was the residence of Febo Brigotti, a physician in the service of Pope Paul III in the first half of the 16th century. On Borgo Nuovo the house, which had been erected before the construction of Borgo Nuovo in 1499, bordered to the west the Palazzo Jacopo da Brescia. The current building is a reconstruction of the original, demolished along with the rest of the Spina di Borgo in the 1930s during the works for the opening of Via della Conciliazione.

Architecture

The reconstructed facade, attached to the back of the Palazzo Rusticucci-Accoramboni, has a design with simple rectangular windows with an arched portal framed in travertine with an inscription revealing the owner's motto, "OB FIDEM ET CHLIENTELA". The original building had also another inscription above the epistyle, "PHOEBUS BRIGOCTUS MEDICUS".
