Today the historic Palace of Sant Agostino - via dei Portoghesi, 12, functions as the headquarters of the State Avocatilo, but the origins of the building go back to the 15th century when the monastery used by the monk Agostiniani as an annex to the nearby church of Sant Agostino is already mentioned.
In 1751 Luigi Vanvitelli and Antonio Rinaldi relied on a restyling at the request of the ecclesiastical order Agostiniani.
Wonder of Vanvitelli!
It is located in via dei Portoghesi, n. 12 (Rione VIII, S. Eustachio). The original structure dates back to a medieval convent built with the church of Sant Agostino. At the end of the fifteenth century the convent together with the church, at the behest of Cardinal Guglielmo d'Estouteville, were enlarged. Renovated in 1746 by the then prior general of the Augustinian order, Agostino Gioia who gave the job to Luigi Vanvitelli. The works were begun the following year by the great architect in collaboration with Antonio Rinaldi, until in 1751 the Vanvitelli, engaged in Russia and Naples in the construction of the Royal Palace of Caserta, took over Carlo Murena. The convent complex was occupied in 1808 by French and Polish troops following the Napoleonic regime in Rome, and returned to the Augustinian friars in 1814. Another desecration of the rooms of the convent and the Angelica Library occurred in 1849 by the Roman republicans; but the Augustinians were able to regain possession of their goods until 1870. In this year the Italian State took over the Convent with the Angelica Library itself. The conventual part became the seat of the Ministry of the Navy and therefore of the State Attorney General; The Academy of Arcadia has been housed in the library since 1941, which has deposited its archive and its volumes there to enrich the library.
historic building that is part of the complex of the Augustinians, it is a pity not everyone can visit it.
Former Augustinian convent, confiscated after the conquest of Rome, today it is the seat of the State Advocacy
A delightful place to spend your holidays. I come every year. I advise
Rome as LOVE..and its well-being are raped every second continuously by everyone and everyone has lawyers ... from Dad to the mayor from President Mattarella to all psychiatrists up to the players and their fans ... and in addition to Roman chaplains with Neapolitan ones.
Leather heads of many fictitious companies that will never go to prison ..
Just bribe see the funeral never investigated or convicted ..
Heartless unscrupulous people at the service of malaise.
Without honesty without knowledge of true Roman law .... where you can speculate there are them ready as vultures ..
For the legacy for the properties for a power of the illusion of a well-being never existed
Because of them and their clients ..
I am ashamed to be a true Roman .... to know Rome today ... yesterday of ancient Rome with many spas ..
And that of the day before yesterday with the beautiful flowers, the plants that all bore fruit and when there were gods.
Real children (not on loan) who rejoiced and who infected with their gajards ... smiled the great Roman people.
By now disappeared ... making room for fearsome chickens to cross a.
Vico scelleratum ora scelleratus ...

Fantastic palace with the great Vanvitelli! The little known former convent of Sant'Agostino is nothing more than the umpteenth demonstration that Rome is by far one of the most incredible cities on the entire planet
