The earthenware collection in the National Museum of the Palazzo Venezia Rome, Italy. The artworks dates from the 17th to the 20th century and origins from the Evan Gorgo collection. Housed in the building of Palazzo Venezia the museum contains galleries of art, predominantly pottery, tapestry, statuary from the early Christian era up to early Renaissance. Palazzo Venezia is located just north of the Capitoline Hill. In 1469 owned by Cardinal Pietro Barbo, nephew of Pope Eugenius IV and the future Pope Paul II it became a residential papal palace, having undergone a massive extension. The pope commissioned perhaps Alberti or Giuliano da Maiano to enlarge his palace in 1455, by incorporating into it the adjacent 9th-century basilica of San Marco. The building manifests some of the first Renaissance architectural features in Rome.
