- Abstract
This article is the second part of a study of the collection of Cardinal Paluzzo Altieri based on the evidence of his 1698 death inventory. Part i considered his paintings collection, housed on the first piano nobile of the palace. This study moves to the second piano nobile apartment and considers a broader range of material objects, including sculpture, tapestry, devotional objects, and naturalia, some of which (such as the American import, chocolate) reflect the globalization of the early modern world. A study of this space is key to fully understanding the nature of Paluzzo's character as a collector, as well as the status of the ex-cardinal nephew and the complex interactions of the personal and the political in seicento Rome. It is invaluable for furthering our understanding of the broader landscape of collecting and display in Rome at this time.
