About
Residence of the Corsini family, the Palazzo Corsini al Prato via the entrance on Via il Prato gives access to the stupendous Italian garden, a large geometric parterre of boxwood hedges adorned with the antique statues from Cardinal Neri Corsini's collection placed on high plinths of sloping height. The façade of the palace overlooking the garden is introduced by a large three-arched loggia designed by Buontalenti. The loggia is surmounted by a balustraded balcony and acts as a theatrical backdrop to the avenue of statues leading to two perfectly preserved ancient lemon houses in front of which are cultivations of peonies and cherry trees.
