Palazzo Fenzi, Renaissance palace in Via San Gallo, Florence, Italy
The three-story palace features elaborate sgraffiti decorations on its facade, displaying the coats of arms of previous noble families.
Constructed in the 16th century for the Castelli family, architect Gherardo Silvani designed the building, which later became property of the Marucelli family.
Sebastiano Ricci created a series of mythological frescoes between 1706 and 1707, establishing early influences of Rococo art in Florence.
The palazzo now functions as the History Department of the University of Florence, making it a center for academic research and education.
The grand ballroom, redesigned by Giuseppe Martelli, hosted gatherings of Florentine nobility until the Fenzi bank collapsed following a tram accident.
