Map

The Casa Acciaiuoli was one of the Acciaiuoli family's palaces in Florence, located at Borgo Santi Apostoli 10 corner Chiasso Cornino 1r. This is a fifteenth-century house formerly belonging to the Acciaiuoli family (owned by the family until its extinction), bordering on a Bonciani palace on the corner of Via delle Terme, "which still retains the remains of its sturdy and severe construction". The wealthy banking family had its headquarters in this area of the city, as evidenced by the adjacent Palazzo Acciaiuoli and the Torre degli Acciaiuoli. The family's most important building no longer exists today: it was located on the opposite side of the street and had a beautiful façade on the Lungarno, but it was swept away by German mines in August 1944, which gutted the entrances to the Ponte Vecchio.
