Palazzo dei Visacci, Renaissance palazzo in Borgo degli Albizi, Florence, Italy
The palace facade displays fifteen stone busts of notable Florentine figures, carved in Greek style with Hermes heads on pilasters.
Built in the 1400s for the Albizi family, the palace underwent transformation in the late 1500s when Senator Baccio Valori commissioned architect Giovanni Caccini.
The stone busts on the facade represent influential Florentines including Dante, Petrarca, Boccaccio, Amerigo Vespucci, and Francesco Guicciardini.
The Grand Orient of Italy occupies the noble floor since 1978, offering guided tours through reservation to explore the Masonic Temple.
The interior features 18th-century stucco decorations by Giovanni Martino Portogalli and frescoes by Matteo Bonechi with Masonic symbols.
