Palazzo Capponi-Covoni, Baroque palace in central Florence, Italy.

The Palazzo Capponi-Covoni displays a symmetrical facade with ordered windows and architectural elements characteristic of 17th-century Florentine design.

In 1623, banker Girolamo Piero Capponi purchased the property and commissioned architect Gherardo Silvani to transform two existing houses into a palace.

The interior chapel contains polychrome marble decorations and frescoes by Vincenzo Meucci depicting the Trinity in glory and angelic musicians.

The Regional Council of Tuscany maintains the palace and oversees ongoing restoration projects to preserve its architectural and artistic elements.

During the Second World War, German forces occupied the building, and in the 1950s and 1960s, it functioned as a meeting place for masonic organizations.

Location: Florence

Architects: Gherardo Silvani
