Palazzo Ridolfi Después de que la familia Ridolfi comprara el adyacente Palazzo Zanchini , los dos edificios se unificaron, sin embargo, dejando las fachadas originales.

"Fue construido por la familia Corbinelli a principios del siglo XV . En 1483 pasó a la familia Ridolfi , a quien luego fue confiscada en 1497 , cuando Niccolò Ridolfi fue desterrado por haber participado en la conspiración de Bernardo del Nero a favor de los Medici , que fueron expulsados ????de la ciudad en ese momento.
Cuando los Medici regresaron a Florencia en 1512 , Piero Ridolfi , esposo de Contessina de' Medici y cuñado de Lorenzo el Magnífico , redimió el palacio e hizo colocar los escudos de armas de Medici y Ridolfi en la puerta.
En este edificio nació, vivió y murió el senador Cosimo Ridolfi , agrónomo, patriota y filántropo ( 1794 - 1865 ). En la fachada hay una placa en su memoria.
La fachada se caracteriza por grandes ventanales y un gran portal, típicamente del siglo XVI. Los grafitis, a imitación de la piedra, son en cambio posteriores.

El escudo de armas de Ridolfi está fijado en la parte superior de la fachada: una montura dorada sobre un campo azul, atravesada por una banda bermellón en ángulo; arriba a la derecha la corona de oro con palmas verdes, concedida por Jacopo rey de Mallorca y Puglia a Lorenzo Ridolfi cuando fue enviado como embajador de la República Florentina a Nápoles en 1415 .

En el interior, la arquitectura es bastante compleja y da testimonio de la sucesión de varias épocas con varias capas. Inmediatamente después de la entrada, ingresa a un vestíbulo de entrada abovedado que cruza la longitud del edificio. Desde aquí se ingresa, en orden: una sala con dos pilares octogonales que contiene una escalera con una balaustrada de pie; al pequeño patio con semipilar octogonal y otros elementos arquitectónicos de piedra, ahora cerrado por vidrieras, donde también hay un portal de piedra con arquitrabe rematado por un busto de mármol; a la escalera monumental, que conduce al primer piso, finalmente, al pequeño jardín, con dos parterres y una palmera, desde el que se divisa la fachada posterior del edificio".

Palazzo Ridolfi After the Ridolfi family bought the adjacent Palazzo Zanchini, the two buildings were unified, however, leaving the original facades.

"It was built by the Corbinelli family at the beginning of the 15th century. In 1483 it passed to the Ridolfi family, from whom it was then confiscated in 1497, when Niccolò Ridolfi was exiled for having participated in the Bernardo del Nero conspiracy in favor of the Medici, who were driven out of the city at that time.
When the Medici returned to Florence in 1512, Piero Ridolfi, husband of Contessina de' Medici and brother-in-law of Lorenzo the Magnificent, redeemed the palace and had the Medici and Ridolfi coats of arms placed on the door.
Senator Cosimo Ridolfi, agronomist, patriot and philanthropist (1794 - 1865) was born, lived and died in this building. On the façade there is a plaque in his memory.
The façade is characterized by large windows and a large portal, typically from the 16th century. The graffiti, in imitation of stone, are, on the other hand, later.

Ridolfi's coat of arms is affixed to the top of the façade: a gilt mount on a blue field, traversed by an angled vermilion band; top right the gold crown with green palms, granted by King Jacopo of Majorca and Puglia to Lorenzo Ridolfi when he was sent as ambassador of the Florentine Republic to Naples in 1415 .

Inside, the architecture is quite complex and testifies to the succession of several eras with several layers. Immediately upon entry, you enter a vaulted entry foyer that runs the length of the building. From here one enters, in order: a room with two octagonal pillars containing a staircase with a foot balustrade; to the small patio with an octagonal semi-pillar and other stone architectural elements, now closed by stained glass windows, where there is also a stone portal with an architrave topped by a marble bust; to the monumental staircase, which leads to the first floor, finally, to the small garden, with two flower beds and a palm tree, from which the rear façade of the building can be seen".
