This museum provides an interesting view of how rich people lived during the renaissance. This was an actual home for hundreds of years and it is definitely worth seeing.

As soon as you step into this museum you are at once transported back to Italian medieval history. It was one of my favourite places to see whilst in Florence; the window views across terracotta roofs of neighbouring buildings were beguiling ...

I am a history buff and I love places that show how people use to live hundreds of years ago and this is it for Northern Italy. I send everyone here and all come away amazed. Built in the mid 1300's and surviving bombs in WWII this shows you how a wealthy family lived and what they accumulated over the generations. This is set up as a museum but it is and was a family home for almost 700 years it is astonishing. Most people never heard of this place and so coming here you will have whole sections with few people to obstruct your views but this is one place not to miss. There are plenty of places in Florence you have to see but this is one not on any list that is worth the time and effort it takes to get here. Truly unique and if you want to see how rich people lived all those years ago this it.
