Palazzo

Frescoes decorate the walls of this Tuscan palazzo.

Tom and Mary stayed at a palazzo hotel in Rome.

The Palazzo Vecchio is Florence's city hall.

In 1505, Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci reportedly produced a large painting, known as the “Battle of Anghiari,” on a wall in Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio. But to the naked eye, no such artwork can be seen there. The location of the mural, which depicts four horsemen in battle, has perplexed art lovers for more than five-hundred years.

Cecil Spenser's society—who soon shewed he could understand and enter into his views—became a source of great gratification, and his young countryman was almost domesticated at the palazzo.

At the piazzas, Romans are usually surrounded by tourists attracted by the classical palazzos, churches, monuments and fountains.
