Situated in the heart of Florence, between piazza Strozzi and via Tornabuoni, the Palazzo Strozzi is one of the finest examples of Renaissance architecture; it was commissioned by Filippo Strozzi, a man who opposed the Medici family. The building, which was built from 1489 to 1505, is a model of Renaissance domestic architecture on a grand scale, with a splendid central courtyard and high-ceilinged first floor for important political encounters.
The Palazzo Strozzi, run by the public-private cultural Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, is now a vibrant temporary exhibition center. Shows on Renaissance masters, modern art and contemporary artists focus on creating an inclusive and lively dialogue between old and new. The building also hosts a small display about on the history of the Palace, a café and a museum shop looking onto the Renaissance courtyard.
