13 – SEARCHING FOR THE VALUE:EXTRAORDINARY FEATURES OF THE<br />
PROPERTY<br />
First of all It is necessary to clarify that considering the historical significance, the absolute<br />
uniqueness and the value of the property, any economic assessment is considered very difficult<br />
to reach.<br />
The extraordinary features of the property that are not comparable with the features of the units<br />
that we have considered as parameters for evaluation criteria, are:<br />
1-An architectural masterpiece erected by men of genius. Both the project and its execution bear<br />
the mark of two great 17th century architects in Rome: Giacomo della Porta and Girolamo<br />
Rainaldi. The property features the following exclusive characteristics:<br />
A) They integrated the new construction into the ancient preexisting Palazzetto, allowing this<br />
unit to extend and merge into the new construction without being able to recognize that you are<br />
in one side or in the other part of the Palazzo;<br />
B) They created and maintained a direct view of the entry of Santa Maria (which is the<br />
Campitelli Church located in front of the Palazzo Albertoni Spinola) from the original door of the<br />
Palazzetto, despite having built the great Palazzo in front of what preexisted building;<br />
C) They have made possible the use of the old roof secret garden of the Palazzetto with the<br />
first floor of the Palazzo, making this unit a unique property of its kind.<br />
2- The “chameleonic” quality of a property, both at the urban-legal and the physical levels,<br />
that features multiple entrances and thus constitutes one and at the same time multiple units that<br />
are completely autonomous, hence the emphasis on “privacy” but at the same time the usability<br />
of the common monumental areas.<br />
3- In regards to such setup, the possibility of touristic-residential use and therefore of the<br />
development of projects that are particularly profitable and that, thanks to current regulations on<br />
the matter, can be carried out without altering the urban physiognomy, thus allowing for private<br />
residential use at any moment.
