About
The Palazzo Compagni or Palazzo Cresci is a palazzo on via Bufalini in Florence. It was originally built as a tower-house by the Cresci family from Montereggi, after they arrived in Florence at the end of the 13th century - via Bufalini was then known as via di Santo Gilio. Thanks to the wool trade the Cresci family became very rich and gained many political positions. In the mid 14th century they replaced their tower with a grand palazzo. Despite several alterations to its interior, it is one of the few palazzi in Florence to have retained much of its interior furniture (essentially in the Empire style) and decoration, notably frescoes, stuccowork and sculpted fireplaces.
