La historia del palacio empieza en 1653, cuando Inocencio X encargó a Gian Lorenzo Bernini la construcción de una residencia para la familia Ludovisi.? Se habla todavía de la modesta colina sobre la que se construyó el palacio: hay quien considera que en época romana se celebraban aquí las asambleas electorales (de donde provendría mons citatorius) y hay quien piensa que el nombre procede del hecho de que aquí se descargaban los escombros de la remodelación del vecino Campo Marzio (mons acceptorius).

Bernini, extraordinario intérprete del barroco romano, diseñó un edificio que se adapta a la estructura urbanística preexistente, tanto en la estructura como en las decoraciones. El único testimonio del proyecto de Bernini es el cuadro atribuido a Mattia de' Rossi, alumno predilecto de Bernini, conservado en la colección Doria-Pamphili de Roma. La fachada del palacio, constituida por una poligonal de cinco segmentos que sigue el recorrido curvo de la calle y elementos de piedra casi sin labrar, de los que emergen hojas y ramas rotas, que simulan un edificio construido en la roca viva.

The history of the palace begins in 1653, when Innocent X commissioned Gian Lorenzo Bernini to build a residence for the Ludovisi family. There is still talk of the modest hill on which the palace was built: some believe that it was built in Roman times Electoral assemblies were held here (where mons citatorius came from) and some people think that the name comes from the fact that the rubble from the remodeling of neighboring Campo Marzio (mons acceptorius) was unloaded here.

Bernini, extraordinary interpreter of the Roman Baroque, designed a building that adapts to the pre-existing urban structure, both in the structure and in the decorations. The only evidence of Bernini's project is the painting attributed to Mattia de' Rossi, Bernini's favorite student, kept in the Doria-Pamphili collection in Rome. The façade of the palace, made up of a polygonal structure with five segments that follows the curved route of the street and almost uncarved stone elements, from which leaves and broken branches emerge, simulating a building built on solid rock.
