Palazzo Venturi

The Palazzo Venturi, originally known as the Palazzo Doni, is a Renaissance palace in the heart of Florence on Via de' Banchi. On the former property of the Bischeri family, Bernardo Buontalenti or Gherardo Silvani built the current building in 1599 on commission from the Doni family. The Venturi family later took over the estate and had the interior richly decorated. Today the palace houses an inn. In the entrance area, you can admire the Venturi coat of arms, which shows three golden rocks on a blue field. A particular highlight is the ceiling paintings on the second floor, adorned with grotesques by Bernardino Poccetti.
