Palazzo Buontalenti

Palazzo Buontalenti, Renaissance palazzo on Via dei Servi, Florence, Italy.

Palazzo Buontalenti stands at Via de' Servi 7-9-11 in Florence, its front still following the 16th-17th century tradition: three floors on nine axes, two portals framed by stone blocks and topped by a mascaron with tied volutes. Upper windows have pietra forte frames, richer on the piano nobile, plainer on the third floor. Inside are two frescoed panels attributed to Niccolò Lapi, and the palace faces a large internal garden.

The house belonged to Bernardo Buontalenti, who lived instead in a house on Via Maggio. His heirs had it rebuilt, probably in the early 18th century, to a design attributed by Alessandro Carlino, on archival evidence, to Pietro Paolo Giovannozzi. It later passed through several owners; in the early 19th century the salon received neoclassical stuccoes and monochrome paintings, and in 2009 the piano nobile returned to private residential use.

The palace was never a Medici residence: it belonged to Bernardo Buontalenti, who lived instead in a house on Via Maggio. Inside are two frescoed panels attributed to Niccolò Lapi, showing Buontalenti saved from the ruins of his house on Via de' Bardi and his meeting with Torquato Tasso. The neoclassical salon stuccoes and monochrome paintings date from the early 19th century.

The building currently functions as a residential complex with private apartments located on Via dei Servi in central Florence. Visitors should know that this is private residential space and public access is not typically available.

Inside, two frescoed panels attributed to Niccolò Lapi show Bernardo Buontalenti saved from the ruins of his house, an episode set in via de' Bardi, and his meeting with Torquato Tasso, traditionally placed at his via Maggio residence. The palace also overlooks a large internal garden.
