Palazzo Bartolini Salimbeni

The Palazzo Bartolini Salimbeni is a High Renaissance-style palace located on Via de' Tornabuoni on Piazza Trinita in central Florence, Italy.

The palace arose at the site which once held the residence of the Soldanieri and later Dati families, which was bought by Bartolomeo Bartolini-Salimbeni.

The structure represents one of the earliest buildings in Florence expressing the High Renaissance style of Rome, where Baccio had spent several formative years.

Palazzo Bartolini Salimbeni is the first palace in Florence built according to the "Roman" Renaissance style: details new to the city included the portal with columns at the sides, the use of pilasters, the square windows with a triangular pediment and the corners with rustication.

[1] The windows bear another inscription, in Italian, Per non dormire ("[A reward] For not sleeping"), the motto of the Salimbeni family that is also recalled by the Bartolini-Salimbeni coat of arms in the frieze at the first floor, featuring three poppies.
