Palazzo Nonfinito, Renaissance palace in Florence, Italy
Palazzo Nonfinito is a Renaissance palace in Florence located along Via del Proconsolo. The building displays a two-story facade with a central portal, asymmetric windows, and prominent stone details that emphasize its incomplete construction.
Construction began in 1593 under architect Bernardo Buontalenti for patron Alessandro Strozzi. Disagreements between the architect and owner caused the project to remain incomplete.
The Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology has occupied the palazzo since 1919, displaying artifacts from cultures around the world and ancient civilizations. The rooms present these collections within settings that reflect their historical contexts.
The palazzo houses a museum with extensive anthropological and ethnological exhibits that are accessible at set times. Visitors should check current opening hours and can arrange guided tours in multiple languages to better explore the architecture and collections.
The building was intentionally left incomplete, with interrupted cornices and asymmetric windows reflecting this unfinished state. This uncompleted structure became the palace's defining mark and inspired its distinctive name over time.
