The greatest artists such as Pietro da Cortona, Domenico Fontana, Alessandro Specchi, Ferdinando Fuga, Carlo Maderno, Giovanni Paolo Pannini and Guido Reni contributed to its construction and decoration.

From 1600 to 1900, Popes and heads of state lived inside it, alternating according to the political situation of the country.

With the referendum of 2 June 1946, the one with which the Italian people chose to become a republican state and no longer a monarchy, the Quirinale officially becomes the residence of the President of the Republic.
