Palazzo Ginori, Florence, Renaissance palace in San Giovanni district, Florence, Italy
Palazzo Ginori is a Renaissance palace in Florence featuring a symmetrical facade with refined stone elements and classical proportions. The building stands at Via de' Ginori 11 and displays the architectural characteristics typical of that period.
Carlo Ginori commissioned the palace between 1516 and 1520, with architectural design attributed to Baccio d'Agnolo. The building thus emerged during an important phase of Florentine Renaissance architecture.
The rooms display frescoes by Alessandro Gherardini and Carlo Marcellini that reflect the artistic traditions of the city. The ornate walls convey a sense of Florentine taste and prosperity of that era.
The building underwent extensive renovation from 2010 to 2011 and now houses an international school. Visitors can view the exterior facade and appreciate the architectural details from the street.
The site previously held the house of Renaissance artist Baccio Bandinelli, who lived and died there. This connection links two important artistic figures in Florentine art history.
