Palazzo Banci Buonamici, 18th-century palace in central Prato, Italy
The palace extends along Via Ricasoli with a grand main facade and features a secondary entrance on Via Cairoli, forming a substantial architectural complex.
The palace originated from residences of the Guazzaloti family, wealthy bankers who owned green marble quarries, before being unified by the Buonamici family in 1787.
The noble floor contains frescoes created between the late 17th and early 18th centuries, with significant contributions from artist Cosimo Ulivelli.
The building now serves as the headquarters of the Province of Prato and underwent extensive restoration to recover its original architectural features.
A pillar made of alternating bands of alberese and green serpentine marble remains from an ancient loggia, representing a singular example in Prato's medieval architecture.
