Palazzo Capponi, Renaissance palace in Florence, Italy
The palace features a dramatic entrance staircase made of pietra serena stone and contains a grotto fountain decorated with nymph statues.
Constructed between 1702 and 1717 under architect Carlo Fontana's design, the palace was commissioned by marchese Alessandro Capponi on via San Sebastiano.
The ceiling displays an Allegory of Triumph fresco, with contributions from painters Matteo Bonechi, Atanasio Bimbacci, Giovanni Cinqui, and Giovanni Camillo Sagrestani.
Located at Via Gino Capponi 26, the palace includes a small private garden and maintains its original Baroque architectural elements.
The palace passed through generations to Gino Capponi, a 19th-century Italian statesman and historian, before art collector Egisto Paolo Fabbri acquired it in 1920.
