During the Quattrocento, cardinals resorted to various expedients to get hold of a palace that was to serve as their residence. They therefore invested in construction, reconstruction or restoration work. Nevertheless, the porporati were not generally the owners of these palaces. Moreover, the Popes enjoyed a right of spoliation which theoretically allowed them to appropriate the cardinals’ inheritance upon their death. In the 15th century cardinals tried to circumvent these constraints in order to make sure that their investments in real estate would be enjoyed by their relatives after their death.
