PALAZZO DEI LINCEI.
(Formerly Corsini.)
Open Monday, Thursday, and Saturday, from 9 to 3.
As this palace, now the home of the Academy of the Lincei, is again open to the public, and as the paintings were generously presented by Prince Corsini to the city of Rome, it may be of advantage to visitors in Rome if we enumerate the paintings most worth inspection. At the same time we would inform our readers that there are full catalogues, on cards, in Italian and French in each room.
