Palazzo Bartolini Salimbeni, Renaissance palazzo in Via de' Tornabuoni, Florence, Italy.

The stone palace features triangular pediments above windows, rusticated corners, and a harmonious facade designed with classical proportions.

Architect Baccio d'Agnolo constructed the palazzo between 1520 and 1523 for the wealthy Bartolini Salimbeni family at a rate of two florins monthly.

The palazzo exhibits Roman Renaissance architectural elements, introducing new design features to Florence through its columns, pilasters, and decorated windows.

The first floor now houses the Roberto Casamonti Collection, displaying modern and contemporary art pieces in the historical setting.

An inscription above the entrance states 'Criticizing is easier than imitating' in response to initial public disapproval of the building's design.
