Map

The Palazzo Capponi Covoni is a Baroque architecture palace in Florence, region of Tuscany, Italy. There are apparently three other palaces once associated with the Capponi family: Palazzo Capponi. A large home at the site was documented since 1427. In 1458 two of those houses in Via Larga, today's Via Cavour, were purchased by Agnolo Tani, the director of the branch of the Medici Bank in Bruges. The properties were inherited by the family of Carnesecchi, which for a long period rented the building. In 1623, the wealthy banker Girolamo Piero Capponi, bought the property, and commissioned a palace from the architect Gherardo Silvani. Construction went on for 2 years, and remade the facade and interiors. Further expansions and reconstructions took place in 1730 under the brothers Pier Roberto, Giuliano, and Girolamo Capponi.
