Palazzo di San Callisto
Historic site · Trastevere, Italy
A Holy See palace on piazza di San Calisto. it.wikipedia records that it houses dicasteries and offices of the Roman Curia and of the Holy See's diplomatic service. Under the Lateran Treaty of 11 February 1929, Italy recognises the Holy See's full ownership of this property (Art. 13; Annex II). Art. 15 states that the property, «benché facenti parte del territorio dello Stato italiano» — although forming part of the territory of the Italian State — enjoys the immunities that international law grants to the headquarters of the diplomatic agents of foreign States. It is on Italian soil and visitors are subject to Italian law. It is not Vatican City and is not described as such here.
History
The Lateran Treaty names it in words at Art. 13, third paragraph: «il dipendente edificio di S. Callisto presso S. Maria in Trastevere». No annexe table number is cited here, because the Treaty's own text is inconsistent about it - the annexe index gives one number, Art. 13 another, and Art. 15's parenthetical lists six palaces against five numbers. The legal substance is unaffected: Art. 13 names the building in words. it.wikipedia dates the palace 1610-18.
