Palazzo Incontri

Palazzo Incontri, Renaissance palace in Florence, Italy.

Palazzo Incontri is a palace in Florence featuring a stone facade, symmetrical windows, and a grand entrance portal spanning multiple floors. The structure reflects the typical building methods used in the city during its construction period.

The site was called Canto di Balla, after a gate in the city walls used until the 12th century. Around 1469 Medici houses were unified and sold to Giovanni di Antonio Vespucci, who had the first palace built and decorated by Botticelli and Piero di Cosimo. Ludovico Attilio Incontri bought it in 1676 and gave it its present form by 1678.

The palace is also called Incontri Piccolellis, after the Piccolellis family who bought it in 1894. Isabella Poniatowski, wife of Filippo de Piccolellis and daughter of the exiled Polish prince Stanislas, made its salon a centre of Florentine social life. The site was known as Canto di Balla, after the Porta di Balla in the city walls used until the 12th century.

The palace stands at the corner of via dei Servi 3-5 and via dei Pucci 1, where palazzo Pucci, palazzo Pasqui and the church of San Michelino Visdomini face the same crossing. Since 1993-1995 much of the building, including the reception rooms, has belonged to the Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze, so it is not a museum open to visitors.

The palace stands on the Canto di Balla, named after the Porta di Balla gate in the city walls used until the 12th century. In 1678 Ludovico Attilio Incontri obtained permission to build the two small terraces above the main doorways, a detail visible on the facade.
