Additional Information about the Print

The marble columns of the ancient Hadrianeum formerly on the site, not far from the Pantheon, give the piazza its name. The Roman temple, consecrated in AD 145, was erected in honour of the deified Hadrian by his adopted son Antoninus Pius.

In 1695 Pope Innocent XII had the temple ruins incorporated into a new Customs House, where every visitor to Rome in the 18th century was obliged to present himself. Since 1873 taken over by the Chamber of Commerce, the present day Palazzo della Camera di Commercio houses the Rome Stock Exchange.
