Palazzo Capponi, Renaissance palace in Florence, Italy
Palazzo Capponi is a Renaissance palace in Florence, Italy, featuring a striking entrance staircase made of pietra serena stone. The interior houses a grotto fountain decorated with nymph statues and retains original Baroque architectural details.
The palace was built between 1702 and 1717 according to architect Carlo Fontana's design, commissioned by marchese Alessandro Capponi. Later it passed to art collector Egisto Paolo Fabbri, who acquired it in 1920.
The ceiling displays an Allegory of Triumph fresco created by multiple painters. Visitors can observe the elaborate painted details that characterize the palace interior.
The palace is located at Via Gino Capponi 26 and includes a small private garden. Visitors should note that the rooms contain many historical details and the staircase is made of stone.
The building once served as home to marchese Gino Capponi, a 19th-century statesman and historian. This connection links the palace to an important figure in Florence's political past.
