Palazzo Taddei, Renaissance palace in Florence, Italy.
Palazzo Taddei displays classic Florentine Renaissance architecture with symmetrical windows, stone details, and a central courtyard featuring elegant arches supported by pietra serena columns.
Built in the early 16th century by architect Baccio d'Agnolo for the wealthy Taddei family, the palace later passed through various noble families including the Giraldi and Ginori dynasties.
The palace maintains historical connections to renowned artists like Raphael and Michelangelo, who visited the Taddei family during the height of the Florentine Renaissance artistic movement.
Located on Via de' Ginori near major Florence landmarks, the palace remains primarily private but occasionally opens for cultural events and maintains preserved interiors with period frescoes.
The courtyard houses a reproduction of Raphael's famous Tondo Taddei, commemorating the artist's relationship with the original family owners during his time in Florence.
