The Palazzo Uguccioni is another of the beautiful palaces that are in the Piazza della Signoria in the centre of the city of Florence. It´s very beautiful and its architecture stands out from the rest, although it´s smaller than the rest.
It´s believed that it was Rafael or Michelangelo who drew the architectonic sketches for this work, because they follow the style of both Italian artists. The Uguccioni Palace has a classical style, although it mixes with late Roman and Renaissance.
The façade of the building has a decorative aim and with its columns and windows it constitutes a classical and beautiful construction, special enough to take a photograph of it with that scenario behind.
This building started to be built in approximately 1550 , but it took its current look subsequently, when Cosme I of Medici (first great Duke of Tuscany) reconstructed it and remodelled the whole Piazza della Signoria.
In the main entry of the building you can find a bust of Francesco I of Medici by Benedicto Uguccioni, a sculptor friend of the great Florentine Duke.
If you want to visit this square and this beautiful museum of the city, rent apartments in Florence grab the city map and go out and see it because you won´t get tired of seeing such beautiful things.
