Map

Palazzo Caccini (also known as Palazzo del Corona) is located in Florence at Borgo Pinti 31–33, on the corner of Via Nuova dei Caccini. In the 15th century this was the home of the Ferrantini family, known for having been chosen – evidently because of the nobility and spaciousness of the rooms – to host the Patriarch of Constantinople and the twenty-three Orthodox bishops during the Council of Florence of 1439. Passed down through hereditary lineage to the Caccini, it was progressively enlarged by them (during the years of prior Francesco Domenico), until a unitary renovation was carried out that literature places between 1561 and 1564 circa and refers to Giovanni Caccini, an intimate of the Medici family (but not to be confused with the architect Giovanni Battista Caccini of Montopoli in Val d'Arno), however assisted by Giorgio Vasari.
