Palazzo Panciatichi

Vinciguerra had been exiled from the town by Cialdo de Cancellieri during 1278 to 1312, and during part of this interval, he served King Phillip the Fair as a mercenary general in Normandy.

The interior houses a portico with a garden, a large staircase leading to the first floor, which has a hall with wooden ceiling, and a loggia.

Putatively a sculpted head on display in the church of Sant'Andrea represents Tedici, who was despised by Pistoians for having betrayed and sold their city to the bellicose leader of Lucca, Castruccio Castracani.

In 1409, Corrado, the son of the above Giovanni, allowed for his palace to host Pope Alexander V, who had come to pray before the relics of St Atto.

As subsequent owner, Andrea di Gualtieri, allowed Lorenzo il Magnifico, in 1478 to stay here while the plague raged in Florence.
