Rita Crane Photography: Palazzo Davanzati, Florence
It is a pleasure to visit the lesser known museums of Florence. Loved wandering through this restored medieval home of a wealthy member of a wool guild. "The Palace, built by the Davizzi family around mid-14th century, was purchased in 1578 by the Davanzati family (their coat of arms is still visible on the facade) and remained in their possession until 1838, when it was divided into several flats and suffered severe damage." Here is the link to the museum: www.museumsinflorence.com/musei/palazzo_davanzati.html
Over the centuries, in between periods of neglect in has been restored several times, and is now beautifully maintained!
