Map

Palazzo Borghese-Aldobrandini is a building in Florence, located at via Ghibellina 123. The front of the palace can be traced back to the 1830s, with a large shield on the door with the coat of arms of the Famiglia Borghese (truncated in the 1st gold, to the eagle with unfolded flight of black, crowned of the field, in the 2nd azure, to the dragon of gold), supported by two eagles and surmounted by a wrought-iron princely crown. As Stefania Bertano and Angelamaria Quartulli have documented on the basis of archival documentation, the building was commissioned by Francesco Borghese Aldobrandini (brother of Prince Camillo) to the architect Gaetano Baccani, who worked by reconfiguring four older houses that stood here.
