Casino Mediceo di San Marco, Renaissance palace in Florence, Italy.
The Casino Mediceo di San Marco features late-Renaissance architecture with a central portal and terrace designed by architect Bernardo Buontalenti in 1574.
Francesco I de Medici commissioned the palace's reconstruction between 1568 and 1574, transforming a former arts academy into a city residence near San Marco Gardens.
The palace interior displays frescoes created between 1621 and 1623 by multiple artists, including Anastasio Fontebuoni, depicting scenes of Medici grand dukes.
Located at Via Cavour 57, the building now houses the School of Transnational Governance, part of the European University Institute since 2017.
The palace contained a research laboratory called Fonderia where scholars conducted experiments in chemistry, leading to developments in Oriental porcelain production.
