Palazzo Corsini

The uniqueness of this two floors building stands in its iconic details such as the roofs decorated with statues and terracotta vases – a novelty for Renaissance Florence – and the main, U-shaped courtyard that opens towards the riverbank. The magnificent decorations, that were done between 1692 and 1700, were also executed by outstanding painters such as Anton Domenico Gabbiani, Alessandro Gherardini and Pier Dandini. The Biennale articulates across the rooms of the palace thanks to the elegant setting by the designer Matteo Corvino.
