Florence - Davanzati Palace and Museum of the Old Florentine House Palazzo Davanzati con Museo dell'Antica Casa Fiorentina
|
|
The austere and majestic five-story facade of the Palazzo Davanzati is divided up on the ground floor by three massive doors, topped by a loggia and decorated in the center by a splendid coat of arms of the Davanzati family (in the summer the curtains are fastened to the iron bars in front of the windows).
The Davizzi built a townhouse here in 1300; one of the family was Gonfaloniere of the Republic in 1294. In the 16th century the palace was acquired by the Bartolini family and later (1578) by the Davanzati.
