The Ares Ludovisi in the Altemps Palace National Roman Museum in Rome Italy. The Ludovisi Ares is an Antonine Roman marble sculpture of Mars, a fine 2nd-century copy of a late 4th-century B.C. Greek original, associated with Scopas or Lysippus. Rediscovered in 1622, the sculpture was lightly restored by the young Bernini. The sculpture was a sensational find and was one of the featured antiquities to be seen on the `grand tour`. Located near Piazza Navona the Altemps Palace is one of the most interesting examples of Renaissance architecture in Rome. Erected during the fifteenth century by the Riario family and refurbished a century later under the orders of Cardinal Marco Sittico Altemps, Palazzo Altemps since 1997 it is one of the four seats of the National Roman Museum. The Palazzo Altemps houses an important collection of Greek and Roman sculpture that belonged to several families of the Roman nobility between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
