The “Palazzo Mediceo” was built by Cosimo I de' Medici between 1559 and 1565 to host his court outside the walls of the “Fortezza Vecchia”.The oldest palace in Livorno, this building could be the early work of a young Bernardo Buontalenti, built even before his signature project in Livorno, the “Pentagono”.
The air conditioning units are obviously a more recent addition, showing an utter disregard for the aesthetic of the old palace.
