Conventions, product launches, gala dinners and weddings for up to 800 guests indoors, or 290 in a single hall, can be organized at Palazzo Brancaccio, a princely residence from 1880 on the Colle Oppio in central Rome. Six decorated halls, a contemporary exhibition space of more than 1,800 square meters and a walled park with fountains belong to the same property, served by an in-house kitchen.
Seminars and company events
The palace sells a wide range of corporate formats: meetings, incentives, conventions and congresses, exhibitions, team building, B2B sessions, fashion shows, presentations and automotive launches. For large conferences and trade displays, Spazio Field is the contemporary part of the building, with more than 1,800 square meters of open floor. Board meetings and press briefings fit in the historic halls. The venue supplies lighting, audio and video, photo and video crews, internet and computer rental, hostesses, guest accreditation, and music or entertainment, so most of the production can be handled on site.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a large part of the calendar, with dedicated programs for Jewish weddings and for Sunday weddings and a wedding menu from the palace kitchen. The garden is used for welcome aperitifs by the fountains, and dinner then moves into the halls, which can be linked into one route through the palace.
Rooms and capacities
The palace states up to 290 people in a single room, 540 across its three main halls and up to 800 using all indoor spaces. The Sala di Gala is the largest hall, at 225 square meters (15 by 15 meters). The Sala degli Angeli covers 120 square meters, the Sala degli Arazzi 99, the Sala Rossa with its atrium 97, and the mirrored gallery, the Sala degli Specchi, about 81. The Sala delle Vestali completes the set. Each hall has its own decor, and they can be combined for a reception or kept separate for parallel sessions.
Outside, a park of more than 1,000 square meters holds three garden settings: the Casina di Caccia, a small hunting pavilion, the Gazebo Pensile and the Fontana Rotonda. The Africano, the palace library, is also listed among the spaces. Parking for about 60 cars is on site.
Catering
Food comes from the palace's own kitchen, in formats from coffee breaks and buffets to light lunches, open bars and seated gala dinners. Organic and vegan menus are part of the offer.
History and setting
Palazzo Brancaccio dates from 1880. It was built for Prince Salvatore Brancaccio, from an old Neapolitan patrician family, and his wife Mary Elisabeth Field, an American heiress, and presents itself as the last palace built by the Roman patrician class. The design is credited to Gaetano Koch, architect of Palazzo Koch, and the architect and sculptor Luca Carimini is also associated with the building. The painter Francesco Gai decorated several rooms and left a work in the Casina di Caccia. Original tapestries, porcelain, crystal chandeliers and late-nineteenth-century frescoes remain in place. Scenes of Roman Holiday, the 1953 film with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, were shot here, and the palace holds the Locale Storico certification.
Getting there
The address is Viale del Monte Oppio 7, on the Colle Oppio hill in the Esquilino district. Roma Termini, the main railway station, is within walking distance, and the Vittorio Emanuele stop on metro line A is close by.
