Palazzo Strozzi is a palace in Florence, Italy. The palace faces the historical Via de' Tornabuoni.The construction of the palace was begun in 1489 by Benedetto da Maiano, for Filippo Strozzi the Elder, a rival of the Medici who had returned to the city in November 1466 and desired the most magnificent palace to assert his family's continued prominence and, perhaps more important, a political statement of his own status.
A great number of other buildings were acquired during the 70s and demolished to provide enough space for the new construction. Giuliano da Sangallo provided a wood model of the design. Filippo Strozzi died in 1491, long before the construction's completion in 1538. Duke Cosimo I de' Medici confiscated it in the same year, not returning it to the Strozzi family until thirty years later. The palace faces the historical Via de' Tornabuoni.
Palazzo Strozzi is an example of civil architecture with its rusticated stone, inspired by the Palazzo Medici, but with more harmonious proportions. Unlike the Medici Palace, which was sited on a corner lot, and thus has only two sides, this building, surrounded on all four sides by streets, is a free-standing structure. This introduced a problem new in Renaissance architecture, which, given the newly felt desire for internal symmetry of planning symmetry: how to integrate the cross-axis. The ground plan of Palazzo Strozzi is rigorously symmetrical on its two axes, with clearly differentiated scales of its principal rooms.
The palazzo remained the seat of the Strozzi family until 1937. Great changes were made to the building when the Istituto Nazionale delle Assicurazioni occupied Palazzo Strozzi. The palazzo, granted by the Istituto Nazionale delle Assicurazioni to the Italian State in 1999, is now home to the Institute of Humanist Studies and to the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi. The Gabinetto G.P. Viesseux and the Renaissance Studies Institute have both also occupied the building since 1940. Today the palace is used for international expositions like the now-annual antique show, founded as the Biennale dell'Antiquariato in 1959, fashion shows and other cultural and artistic events, such as Cézanne in Florence. Two Collectors and the 1910 Exhibition of Impressionism. Here also is the seat of the Istituto Nazionale del Rinascimento and the noted Gabinetto Vieusseux, with the library and reading room.

Via De Tornabuoni – Palazzo Strozzi – Firenze – Audioguida – MyWoWo Travel App
Via de’ Tornabuoni è la strada più elegante di Firenze!
Questa bella via rettilinea, dove puoi dedicarti allo shopping di lusso ma anche ammirare chiese e palazzi storici, è dedicata ad una delle grandi famiglie signorili della storia di Firenze. Si sviluppa lungo il lato occidentale dell’antica città romana, da piazza Antinori fino all’Arno, in corrispondenza del ponte di Santa Trinità.
L’aspetto attuale della via, piena di negozi di moda, gioielleria e alto artigianato, è frutto di un riuscito intervento di regolarizzazione dell’800. Su entrambi i lati vedi palazzi signorili dal ’400 al ’600, e all’inizio e alla fine due chiese monumentali.
Via de’ Tornabuoni è un punto di riferimento fondamentale del centro storico di Firenze, e ti capiterà spesso di attraversarla passando da un monumento all’altro. Se vuoi esplorarla come merita, ti consiglio di partire dal Palazzo Antinori. Sul lato opposto noterai subito la bella facciata della chiesa di San Gaetano, uno dei pochi edifici barocchi di Firenze. È una tipica chiesa seicentesca, ricca di statue, bassorilievi, stucchi e dipinti, fra cui anche una tela di Pietro da Cortona.
La banca che vedi di fianco alla chiesa è Palazzo Corsi, con una bella loggia del ‘600...
