The Istituto Nazionale per la Grafica is an Italian institute having the aim of preserving, protecting and promote a heritage of works providing documentary evidence of all types of graphic design: prints, drawings, photographs. The institute is located in Rome and is managed by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Landscape, Arts and Architecture of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities.
The institute is housed in the monumental complex of Trevi Fountain, consisting of Palazzo Poli and neighbouring Palazzo della Calcografia, built in 1837 by architect Giuseppe Valadier as headquarters of the Chamber Intaglio, directed by Valadier himself for decades. The historic Palazzo Poli was purchased in 1978 by the Italian State, with the very purpose of unifying the National Intaglio and the National Cabinet of Prints, which in 1975 were merged into the present institute.
The Capitolium or Capitoline Hill , between the Forum and the Campus Martius, is one of the Seven Hills of Rome.
The hill was earlier known as Mons Saturnius, dedicated to the god Saturn. The word Capitolium first meant the temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus later built here, and afterwards it was used for the whole hill , thus Mons Capitolinus . In an etiological myth, ancient sources connect the name to caput and the tale was that, when laying the foundations for the temple, the head of a man was found, some sources even saying it was the head of some Tolus or Olus. The Capitolium was regarded by the Romans as indestructible, and was adopted as a symbol of eternity.By the 16th century, Capitolinus had become Capitolino in Italian, and Capitolium Campidoglio. The Capitoline Hill contains few ancient ground-level ruins, as they are almost entirely covered up by Medieval and Renaissance palazzi that surround a piazza, a significant urban plan designed by Michelangelo.
The word Capitolium still lives in the English word capitol, and Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. is widely assumed to be named after the Capitoline Hill.
ヴェネツィア宮殿（イタリア語: Palazzo Venezia）は、イタリアの首都ローマ中心部にある宮殿（パラッツォ）。カンピドリオの北に位置し、ヴェネツィア広場に面している（広場の名はこの宮殿にちなむ）。
宮殿の敷地内にはサン・マルコ教会が建つ。もともとこの教会に任命された枢機卿（伝統的にヴェネツィア出身者が任命されてきた）の住居がこの館の起源である。15世紀に館の主となった枢機卿ピエトロ・バルボ（のちの教皇パウルス2世）らによって大規模な拡張・改築が行われ、ルネサンス建築初期の特徴を有する複合建築物に発展した。その後はヴェネツィア共和国、次いでオーストリアの大使館となった。ファシスト政権期にはベニート・ムッソリーニが官邸として用いたことで知られている。現在、この建物はパラッツォ・ヴェネツィア国立博物館（Museo nazionale del Palazzo di Venezia）として使われている。
