Ancient Roman Palace Palazzo Orsini for sale @ $39 Million

Its not the price tag but the historic value of owning such a property that has us getting goosebumps. The property which is currently owned by an Anglo-American aristocrat includes an ancient Roman theatre and is situated in central Rome.

Despite the current conditions in Europe, the palace is the most expensive property in the Italian capital and definitely amongst the top most expensive properties in Europe. What makes this sale extremely rare is that properties such as this which includes a magnificent palace are never sold on the open market but kept inside the family. A palace such as this one would be considered as a once in a century investment.

The Plazo Orsini includes frescoed staterooms, a ballroom, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a library, a dining room, a terrace, a separate penthouse and cellars. The palace is actually built on top of the stone and marble shell of the Theatre of Marcellus, which resembles a mini-Colosseum that could seat 20,000 and was begun by Julius Caesar in the 1st century BC.

As a major history buff, this is one property that I would give a tooth and eye to buy. Unfortunately, I doubt I would be paid $39 million for those. However if you can afford it, then you do get a try before you buy offer.

Simply hop on over to Petersham Properties and tell them you are interested.
