Map

Palazzo degli Sporti, or Busini Ugolini, is a civic building in the historical centre of Florence, located between Via dell'Oriuolo 10 and Via Sant'Egidio in Florence, in front of an unnamed small square near the San Pierino arch that leads to Borgo Pinti. The three-storey building, dating back to the 16th century, overlooks both Via dell’Oriuolo and Via Sant’Egidio with its façades with «sporti» on corbels, which are such a distinctive feature that they have given the building its current name. This area houses the ancient homes of the Albizi family which were sold in 1508 when they were almost ruins by Filippo di Michele da Nipozzano (Albizi) to Anton Francesco degli Albizi. Luca, his son, built the palace in its present form around 1532.
