Palazzo Uguccioni, Renaissance palace on Piazza della Signoria, Florence, Italy
Palazzo Uguccioni is a Renaissance residence on Piazza della Signoria featuring three rusticated ground-floor arches and two upper stories with Ionic and Corinthian columns. The stone facade displays a careful arrangement of architectural elements characteristic of its period.
Construction began in 1550 for Giovanni Uguccioni and reflects Roman influences of the late Renaissance period. The building emerged from the family's growing wealth and social standing during this era.
