Palazzo Zuccari, Renaissance palace in Florence, Italy.
Palazzo Zuccari is a Renaissance palace in Florence with a footprint that spans multiple floors. The facade shows symmetrical proportions and classical architectural details typical of buildings from this era.
The palace was built between 1577 and 1579 while its creator Federico Zuccari was working on the dome frescoes at the cathedral. Later alterations in the 17th century by other artists shaped its interior decoration.
The building housed artists for centuries and displays frescoes that reflect different periods of creative work. The rooms carry traces of the people who lived and worked here, showing how craft and family life were intertwined.
The building is situated on Via Giusti and can be accessed from Via Gino Capponi, where it connects to adjacent structures. Visiting the interior requires planning ahead since access is limited.
The building was donated by Deutsche Bank to an art history institute, which is a rare form of international support for its cultural legacy. This donation made possible extensive restoration work that preserved it for the future.
