Palazzo dell'Antella, Renaissance palace in Piazza Santa Croce, Florence, Italy
The Palazzo dell'Antella features a grand facade covered with detailed frescoes depicting allegorical figures, cherubs, floral patterns, and decorative arabesques across multiple panels.
Following acquisition by Senator Niccolò dell'Antella in the early 1600s, architect Giulio Parigi transformed the structure by unifying adjacent buildings into one cohesive design.
Thirteen artists under Giovanni da San Giovanni completed the facade paintings in twenty days during 1619-1620, demonstrating the period's collaborative artistic practices.
The ground floor now contains restaurants and shops, while the upper levels house residential apartments accessible through the main entrance on Piazza Santa Croce.
The windows of the palace gradually shift position toward Santa Croce Church as they rise, creating an optical illusion that enlarges the perception of the square.
