History
The hotel was built from 1776 to 1792,[1] for Alexandre de Galliffet, the President of the Parlement of Aix-en-Provence who also built the Château du Tholonet in Le Tholonet. It was designed by Etienne François Legrand.[2]
Subsequently, the hotel was the residence of Minister Charles-François Delacroix, and thus the childhood home of General Charles-Henri Delacroix and painter Eugène Delacroix.[1] It was later the residence of Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, who served as the Prime Minister of France in 1815.[1]
In 1972 the building was used as the Italian embassy.[3] The hotel is now home to the Italian Cultural Institute in Paris.[1]
