FAMOUS ITALIAN CASTLE

The Castle of Sangallo, where the Italian Premier, Signor Mussolini, lives during the summer, has an interesting history. It overlooks the sea at Ncttnno, not quite forty miles from Romo.

The land on which the castle stands was originally part of _ tho domain of tho great Italian family of Colonna, and the castle was built by tho Borgia Pope, Alexander VI., who has confiscated the Colonna estates. The name Snngallo was taken from tho nickname of the castle’s architect, Giuliano Giamberti, who was called Sangallo after a wonderful convent he had designed near the gate of San Gallo at Florence.

For many years tho castle belonged alternately' to tho Popes and the Colonnas, who were constantly at loggerheads, until a seventeenth century Colonna sold it to Pope Clement VITT. From that time it remained in the possession of the Popes until 1831. In 1870 it became State property, and afterwards passed through various hands.
