The Seat
The seat of the Chamber of Deputies is the Palazzo Montecitorio, where it has met since 1871, shortly after the capital of the Kingdom of Italy was moved to Rome.
The previous seat of the Chamber of Deputies of the Kingdom of Italy was the Palazzo Carignano in Torino (1861–1865) and the Palazzo Vecchio in Firenze (1865–1871). During the fascist regime, from 1939 to 1943, the Chamber of Deputies was abolished and replaced by the Chamber of Fasci and Corporations.

“Time is indeed the theatre and seat of illusion: nothing is so ductile and elastic. The mind stretches an hour to a century and dwarfs an age to an hour.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I have a dream: in my dream ... Aretha Franklin, in her fabulous black-lipstick “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” outfit, leaps from her seat at Maxim’s and, shouting “Think!,” blasts Lacan, Derrida and Foucault like dishrags against the wall, then leads thousands of freed academic white slaves in a victory parade down the Champs-Elysées.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
