Palacio Rosselli del Turco - Florencia, Italia - Pre-Victorian Historic Homes on Waymarking.com

"La fachada del edificio está diseñada en el típico estilo barroco florentino, muy sobrio. En el centro del edificio se encuentra el escudo de armas nobiliario; sin embargo, no está relacionado con Rosselli del Turco. El edificio fue adquirido en 1851 por Chevalier de Luca Rosselli Del Turco (1826-1882), cuando se casó con la condesa Vittoria Sassatelli di Imola, última descendiente de la rama principal de esta casa histórica. Sus descendientes se llamaban entonces “Rosselli del Turco Sassatelli”, y tuvieron el palacio en su poder hasta 1922. En el patio del edificio hay un pozo, una fuente y algunos fragmentos de esculturas. En uno de los pasillos que conducen a los niveles del sótano hay frescos del siglo XIX, creado en el estilo medieval.

Desde la segunda mitad del siglo XIX hasta la actualidad, diversos artistas han tenido estudios o espacios de exposición en el palacio: los pintores William Page, Walter Gould y Karl Stengel, y los escultores Alexander Galt, Henry Kirk Brown y 2 . Durante los años en que Florencia fue la capital de Italia (1865-1871), este palacio fue también sede de la Embajada de los Estados Unidos de América."
