Palazzo Mediceo, Mannerist palace near Fortezza Vecchia, Livorno, Italy.

The Palazzo Mediceo features stone decorations on its facade and a central projection that functions as a balcony for the first floor.

Commissioned by Grand Duke Cosimo I de' Medici in the 1540s, the palace formed part of Livorno's defensive structures alongside the Fortezza Vecchia.

The palace represents the transition from Renaissance architecture to Mannerism, displaying unconventional applications of classical design elements.

The palace currently serves as the headquarters of the Guardia di Finanza, housed in the Caserma G. Russo military facility.

Despite substantial damage during World War II and subsequent urban development, the palace maintains its original architectural characteristics near the defensive moat.
