That to say? Perhaps an other building in contest for the beautifulst and this it is indeed. Filippo Strozzi, banker to Naples after the exile from part of the Doctors in 1433, re-entered in city thanks to the accumulated fortunes in 1466 and wanted to construct the "beautifulr palace than Florence".

In order to crown this dream it bought necessary lands to the construction that for the size, it occupied the space very eight already present buildings.

The Sangallo constructed a model in wood of the palace but the preferred architect from Lorenzo says itself that the plan was of Benedict from Maiano, to the age de' Doctors said the Magnificent one. The model now is to the Bargello. For the construction it even tried the favor of the stars and obtained a favorable predizione, it began the jobs in 1489. Ill-fated Prince Strozzi saw little very turns out, passing to you to better life in 1491 and leaves for testament eredi the task to finish the work.

After Benedict from Maiano Simone of the Pollaiolo took part that carried to coronamento the facade and the courtyard with the porticato one rimenendo in loads until 31 October 1504. Baccio d' Agnolo, after alternate interruptions due to the economic conditions of the family, t erminò the work in 1538 leaving but incompiuto a cornice and that it is remained such until the days ours. There is from noticing, than the palace requirement from Cosimo came de' the Doctors for a period of 30 years and then given back to the eredi.

The added one of the bench of via laughed them to 1864 to work of Giuseppe Hills and was connected to the courtyard through a rampa that he was accessible from the wheel vehicles. The only neo of this wonderful work was just the location. The before public square the palace in the rinascimento was classified to the merchants of vivande that they giornalmente left regularly and residual abundant  in front of the income.

in 1937 the palace changes of hand and passes to the INA. In 1999 it comes yielded to the state and today it is center of the Viesseux Cabinet and the National Institute of the Studies on the Rinascimento. Important place of extensions and exposures the palace also being an architectonic pearl is managed like all the museums be them.
