History

The palace was erected at the site of a house with a tower, built in the 11th century by the aristocratic Albizone (or Albitone) family.

The palace was the residence in 1539, of Cosimo I de’ Medici, and further refurbished by Eleonora of Toledo. In 1574 Francesco I de' Medici erected a new Medici Palace (Palazzo Reale) in town, and by 1784, this Palace became property of Jacopo Finocchietti.

The present façade was commissioned by Marchesa Vittoria Spinola (Morganatic daughter of Victor Emmanuel II), per the designs of Ranieri Simonelli. This architect replaced the façade windows of the first and second floor with gothic mullioned windows, and erected a tower with merlons (1879).

The palace now houses the prefecture.[1]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
