Palace of Bianca Cappello, Renaissance palace in Oltrarno district, Florence, Italy.
The palazzo features a meticulously decorated facade with stone carvings, graffito designs, and heraldic elements across its three-story structure on Via Maggio.
Bernardo Buontalenti renovated the building between 1570 and 1574 for Bianca Cappello, who later became the Grand Duchess of Tuscany through marriage.
The palace stands as an example of Renaissance architecture, with its facade enhanced by Bernardino Poccetti's graffito work in 1579.
The building now functions as an archive and laboratory for book conservation, managed by the Gabinetto Vieusseux under Florence's municipal administration.
The palace's location at number 26 Via Maggio positions it directly opposite Palazzo Ridolfi and near Palazzo Machiavelli in the historic Oltrarno quarter.
