Abstract
In 1747 the Spanish Ambassador in Rome was charged with the realization of plans of the building in which the Spanish Embassy was located for the purpose of studying wheter it would be possible to house the pensioners sent to the city by the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in order to complete their artistic studies. Alfonso Clemente de Arostegui commissioned the architect Ferdinando Fuga to carry out the work, and assisted by one of his students, Jose de Hermosilla, they drew six plans of the building. Recently, these designs have been located in the Archivo General de la Administracion; they constitute a document of enormous interest for the study of the diplomatic headquarters and for the Italian sojourn of the Spanish pensioner.
