Palazzo Manetti is a 15th Century Italian palazzo, located at Via Santo Spirito 23 in Florence. The palace was built in the early decades of the fifteenth century for the Manetti family, on properties owned by them since the second half of the fourteenth century. Among the prominent figures of the family was Giannozzo Manetti, a humanist and translator of Aristotle, who was disliked by Cosimo the Elder. Therefore, with the return of the pater patriae to Florence, he was forced to leave the city, first moving to Naples and then to Rome, where he initiated the collection of the Vatican Library.
