Florence - Palazzo Altoviti

The Palazzo Altoviti in the Borgo degli Albizi, a street with many fine town houses, first belonged to the Albizi family and then to the Valori and Guicciardini families. In the 16th century Baccio Valori decorated it with busts of famous Florentines (Ficino, Vespucci, Alberti, Guicciardini, Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio et al) which is why the locals nicknamed it the "Rogues' Gallery".
