Giorgio de Chirico's home is located in Rome at 31 Piazza di Spagna. The artist moved there in 1948 at the age of sixty, after a life of travel, including sojourns in various European cities and a significant stay in New York (1936–1938).

The apartment consists of the living quarters, the artist's studio, and a large terrace on the top of the three upper floors of the 17th-century Palazzetto dei Borgognoni in central Rome. De Chirico lived here for the last thirty years of his life, together with his second wife, Isabella Pakzswer Far, who continued to live there until 1990, the year of his death.

Arriving in Rome in 1944, after a long wandering through various European cities and an important stay in New York, de Chirico settled permanently in his house on Piazza di Spagna in 1948, at the age of sixty. 

Thanks to Isabella Far's bequest, the Giorgio de Chirico House Museum is now open to the public. Inaugurated on November 20, 1998, the twentieth anniversary of the artist's death, it offers a unique opportunity to delve into de Chirico's private and everyday world, as well as access his original artistic imagery, in a surprising and evocative intertwining of art and life.
