The House di Febo Brigotti (Italian: Casa di Febo Brigotti) is a Renaissance house located on Via dei Corridori 44, in the Borgo rione of Rome.[1]
History
Originally located in Borgo Nuovo 106-107,[2] it was the residence of Febo Brigotti, a physician in the service of Pope Paul III (but according to Ludwig von Pastor of Pope Leo X)[2] in the first half of the 16th century.[3] On Borgo Nuovo the house, which had been erected before the construction of Borgo Nuovo in 1499,[4] bordered to the west the Palazzo Jacopo da Brescia.[2] 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.[3]
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" ("Due to the faith and the customers").[3] The original building had also another inscription above the epistyle, "PHOEBUS BRIGOCTUS MEDICUS".[5]
