The article showed lack of precise knowledge of Rome and Italian naming conventions, Italian spellings, was full of weasel words and POV ("eminent" for a nullity barely heard of). Mainly, it gave the palace a name referring to a road, instead of its historical one. I have thus named it "Palazzo Aragona Gonzaga" which seems the most established name used in sources. Let me know and good work, and sorry if someone got offended, but I had a whole day spent in correcting Italian spelling errors in some 200 articles and I was exhausted. Blame on me!

I do trust you are recovered from your exhaustion. The reason I name the page Via della Scrofa 117, Rome when I wrote it, was not from a lack of knowledge of Rome - I lived there for quite a while, but from the sources showing a lack of agreement on the name (as the lead sugests; it seems to have changed several times in its history) but also to avoid confusion with other palazzi of similar name also in the city and elswhere in Italy. While natives of the city (those few aware of the palace's existance) may be able to easily differentiate between Rome's numerous palaces all with similar names - visitors and students to the city may not, therefore the indisputable postal address seemed the best choice. Incidentally, until I walked passed the palace last year and thought it looked interesting, I had never heard of it at all; it was only a month later when looking at the pictures I had taken, I was able to trace the name of the palace (initially through street view) and its history and the name that most often cropped up was Via della Scrofa 117. So while, I agree, it is not the most beautiful name, it seemed the best one to chose. You obviously prefer a name given at one time in its history agains that of another or a more recent name - to be honest I am not that bothered what it is called, but that was my logic. You will note that there was some original talk on naming the page here [1], ("...I'm not very happy with it or its title, but have rather exhausted the limited references available and the house is referred to by too many names for me to elect one, no doubt someone will vociferously beg to differ, and I'm not too fussed if they do Giano 08:08, 14 May 2010") but without much conclusion.
