Palazzo Minerbetti

[1] There are two quoted traditions for the derivation of the Minerbetti, one claims that it derives from a cadet or minor branch of an English Becket family, emigrating prior to the 15th century, perhaps related to the family Saint Thomas Becket of Canterbury, leading to an italianizations of Minor-Becket.

[4] The Minerbetti were prominent into the 18th-century, hosting the Grand-Duke of Tuscany with pomp in 1767; by the 1800s, the male line had died.

[7] The top floors house the pension Tornabuoni Beacci with a rooftop terrace with a view.

[8][9] The lower floor of the main façade on Via Tornabuoni has rounded arches and slightly polished stone masonry of varying size.

The thin corner building with an iron balcony along Via Parione was completed in the 19th-century and connected parts of the palace.
