Piazza degli Antinori, Florence

The palace has served as the offices and residence of Marchesi Antinori since 1506. It was designed and built by Giuliano da Maiano in 1461 and expanded by Baccio d'Agnolo in 1543. In the middle of the harmonious, linear façade is the family crest, a shield with a plain lower field and a diamond pattern upper section.
