Palazzo Mozzi - Florence, Italy - Lions Clubs International Markers on Waymarking.com

This plaque that marks the Palazzo Mozzi was a gift of the Lions Club of Florence. The plaque is placed in the right side of the main door of the palace and it reads:
"PALAZZO DEI MOZZI
XIII-XIV Secc.
Dono dei Lions Clubs Fiorentini"


"The palazzo was built by the Mozzi family between 1260 and 1273 as a fortification for the Ponte alle Grazie. The palazzo was modified in the 14th century to a Renaissance house. The Mozzi family often hosted prominent persons such as Pope Gregory X and the Duke of Athens at the palazzo.
In the 16th century, a plot of land was purchased behind the palazzo and was used to grow an olive grove. The grove was transformed into a garden in the 19th century when the palazzo was purchased by Stefano Bardini. The State of Italy currently owns the palazzo and it is undergoing restoration and conversion to an art museum."
