Palazzo Capponi-Vettori, Renaissance palace along Lungarno Guicciardini, Florence, Italy

The palazzo extends over three floors with four windows per row and features a central portal facing the Lungarno waterfront.

Lodovico Capponi selected this location to observe Maddalena Vettori during official processions, whom he later married in 1558 through intervention.

The piano nobile contains a salon decorated with frescoes depicting allegories and stories of the Capponi family, painted by Bernardino Poccetti in 1585.

The palace maintains two distinct facades: the main entrance on Lungarno Guicciardini and a secondary, older entrance on Via Santo Spirito.

Two 19th-century balconies overlook the Arno River, while eight arched windows on the first floor are emphasized by a marcapiano cornice.
