The Palazzo della Cancelleria in Rome was designed by Baccio Pontelli and Antonio da Sangallo the Elder for Raffaele Cardinal Riario, Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church. It was built from 1489 to 1513. The page has no infobox, so no dates conflict.
The article calls it Rome's first Renaissance palace, in an Early Renaissance style with a facade influenced by Florence. It uses travertine reused from the Theatre of Pompey, and the courtyard has 44 Egyptian granite columns. It gives no dimensions.
Pope Leo X seized the palace in 1517 and gave it to Cardinal Giulio de Medici, then Vice-Chancellor, which gave it its name. Vasari painted its frescoes in 1547, and it hosted the Roman Republic's parliament in 1849. It houses Roman Curia justice institutions and is extraterritorial Holy See property within a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The article gives no hours.
