NOTES: The house was designed by David Medd and Mary Crowley for their own use and included a workshop and garage attached to the house and accessible from there via a storage room.

NOTES: The building was originally designed by Bernini for Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi, nephew of Pope Gregory XV. However, with the death of Gregory XV in 1623 work stopped and was not restarted until the papacy of Pope Innocent XII (Antonio Pignatelli), when it was completed by the architect Carlo Fontana in 1694, who modified Bernini's plan with the addition of a bell gable above the main entrance. In 1870 following the unification of Italy, it was chosen as the seat of the Chamber of Deputies and in the early 1900s the palace was completely rebuilt behind the facade by the architect Ernesto Basile.

NOTES: The Villa Cavrois was designed by Robert Mallet-Stevens in 1929-1932 for the wealthy industrialist Paul Cavrois. Remodelled in 1947 by Pierre Barbe, it was converted into three flats. In 1985 it had fallen into disrepair and by 2001 it was a virtual ruin, when it was bought by the state for a nominal sum of 1 euro, along with part of the grounds. Since then, there has been an extensive programme to restore the house back to its original 1932 form, under the supervison of Michel Goutal, Chief Architect of the Centre des Monuments Nationaux. This was completed in 2015, when the villa was opened to the public.
