Palazzo Strozzi

The Palazzo Strozzi is a perfect example of a Renaissance palace. From the time of its construction until 1937, it was the property of the Strozzi family, but then it was acquired by the Istituto Nazionale delle Assicurazioni, which restored and transferred it to the Italian State in 1999. Currently it hosts two major cultural institutions, and offers contemporary art exhibitions. The courtyard has some amazing sculptures, and the cafe is one of my favourite places to have a drink in this wonderful city.
