The Palazzo Barberini was designed for Pope Urban VIII , a member of the Barberini family , by the sixteenth-century architect Carlo Maderno on the old location of Villa Sforza . Its central salon ceiling was decorated by Pietro da Cortona with the visual panegyric of the Allegory of Divine Providence and Barberini Power .[ 3] The Museum expanded through purchases and donations, such as the acquisition of the Torlonia and Monte di Pietà collections in 1892, the donation of Henriette Hertz in 1915, and the purchase of the Chigi collection in 1918.[ 4]
