Palazzo Wedekind is a palace in Piazza Colonna in Rome, Italy, located next to the church of Santi Bartolomeo ed Alessandro dei Bergamaschi. It is notable as the historical offices of the daily Il Tempo.
On a site occupied in antiquity by the Temple of Marcus Aurelius, the medieval buildings on the site were cleared for a structure erected by Ludovisi (1659) which became the offices of the vice-gerent of the vicariate of Rome. To house the general director of the postal service of the Papal States, transferred here in 1814, the palace was completely rebuilt by Pope Gregory XVI according to designs by Giuseppe Valadier made by Pietro Camporese the Younger. At Valadier's urging, Camporese added a portico built with twelve elegant Roman columns brought from the ruins of Veii, complemented by two pairs of columns flanking the main door, recovered from the Basilica of San Paolo fuori le Mura, burned in 1823.
In 1852 it was bought by the wealthy banker Karl Wedekind, who rebuilt its interiors according to plans by GB Giovenale. Since 1871, the palace housed the Ministry of Education of the Kingdom of Italy. For a short time in September 1943 until the liberation of Rome, the palazzo was the official base of the Fascisti romani.
