Palazzo Te - Chamber of the Giant_1080

One of the most fascinating examples of monumental architecture in Italy, the Palazzo Te building was conceived by Giulio Romano between 1524 and 1530 as a pleasure palace for Federico II Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua. The name Palazzo Te doesn’t mean, as many believe, “Tea palace”. The building rather takes its name from that of the site on which it is located on the outskirts of Mantua, once called “Tejeto” (linden grove) or simply “Te”.

 

Палаццо Те - это загородная (в XVI веке, сейчас же город подступил к парку) резиденция маркиза Федерико II Гонзага, сына прославленной Изабеллы д'Эсте, для возлюбленной Изабеллы Боскетти. Строительство дворца относится к 1524-1525 годам, до 1534 года продолжалось его украшение.
