Lungarno Corsini
Florence, December 2017
“The Palazzo Corsini is a monumental palace located on Via del Parione 11, with a facade towards the Arno River, in Florence, region of Tuscany, Italy. ‘The site had been appropriated from the Ardinghelli family prior to the 17th century by the Medici, who built a casino, a small house with gardens extending to the river. In 1649, it was purchased by Maria Maddalena Macchiavelli, the wife of the Marchese Filippo Corsini, from the Grand Duke Ferdinando II de’ Medici. The palace was constructed during the mid-17th to the 18th centuries, built with one side having a U-shape wings facing the Arno to give maximum view of the river. The initial architects were Alfonso Parigi the Younger, followed by Ferdinando Tacca until 1671. Completing the massive structure was Antonio Maria Ferri.” (Palazzo Corsini, Wikipedia)
