Night shot of The Palazzo della Consulta in central Rome, Italy, that since 1955 houses the Constitutional Court of the Italian Republic. It sits across the Piazza del Quirinale from the official residence of the President of the Italian Republic, the Quirinal Palace. The late Baroque palace was commissioned by the Pope Clement XII Corsini from Ferdinando Fuga, and it was completed in 1737 to house the secretariat of the Sacra Congregazione della Consulta which served as the main council of state of the Papal states and tribunal as well as the Segnatura dei Brevi, as well as two corps of Papal Guard units.
