Palazzo Corsini (Via del Parione)

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 Medicis, 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 U-shape wings facing the Arno to give maximum view of the river.

The palace still contains remnants of a sculptural collection, but most of the movable artwork was transferred to the family's palazzo in Rome.
