Palazzina della Livia, Neoclassical palazzo in Piazza San Marco, Florence, Italy
The Palazzina della Livia is a late 18th-century residence at Piazza San Marco with straight lines and balanced proportions typical of Neoclassical design. The building features two main floors with light-colored facades and rooms that retain their original interior details.
A Tuscan grand duke commissioned this house between 1775 and 1778 for a renowned performer and companion. A noted architect of the period designed the structure as a modern example of architectural thinking of those decades.
The building shows how wealthy Florentines of the 18th century designed their homes and which artists they employed. The rooms display a taste that combined classical simplicity with artistic richness.
The house sits on a piazza near major art museums and a significant basilica in Florence. The area is easily accessible by public transportation or on foot and offers different options for visitors with various needs.
The interior walls still carry frescoes that show how artists decorated during this period. These hand-painted images give visitors a rare glimpse into artistic decoration of private rooms in the 18th century.
