Palazzo Dudley, Renaissance palazzo in Florence, Italy

The palazzo features dual portals, an ornate balcony, and wooden cassette ceilings that demonstrate traditional Italian architectural craftsmanship throughout its structure.

Robert Dudley, Earl of Northumberland, constructed this residence in 1613 upon the foundations of earlier Renaissance buildings during his exile in Florence.

The architecture of Palazzo Dudley represents the transition between Renaissance and early modern Florentine design, with elements from both periods visible in its structure.

The building stands at Via Della Spada in central Florence, currently operating as a store that maintains many original architectural features.

Francesco Navone, who acquired the property in 1912, added his name to the facade and implemented significant modifications while preserving historical elements.
