Palazzo Gerini

The Palazzo Gerini is a Renaissance palace on Via Ricasoli in Florence, with a history that goes back to the 15th century. Originally owned by the Ginori family, the property was later acquired by the Salviati, who commissioned the architect Bernardo Buontalenti to remodel it. In 1650, the Gerini family bought the building and had the interiors decorated with frescoes by Anton Domenico Gabbiani and Jacopo Chiavistelli. Later alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries, including the renovation of the main entrance by Gaspare Maria Paoletti and the adaptation of the facade by Giuseppe Poggi, shaped the palace's present appearance. Until 1825, the palace housed a significant art collection with works by artists such as Piero di Cosimo, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Andrea del Sarto, Carlo Dolci, and Rembrandt.
