Palazzo Venturi Ginori
Portal

The Lycee is located in the palace once known as the Palazzo Venturi Ginori, built in 1498 for Bernardo Rucellai on land owned by his wife Nannina Medici. In 1459, Cosimo de' Medici sponsors meetings of a neoplatonic Academy in this palace. The palace suffered with the temporary expulsion of the Medici in 1527, but was soon refurbished. In 1537, the Rucellai heirs sold the property to Bianca Cappello. In 1663, the Cardinal Giovanni Carlo Medici sells much of the contents of the palace, and the structure is bought by the Marquis Ridolfi Montescudaio. The palace interiors were refurbished in the early 19th century in a neoclassical style. The gardens were redon in a British style. In 1861, an owner, Countess Orloff employs Giuseppe Poggi in renovations.[5]

gollark: We could starve it of mana by going to an isolated place and summoning bee repeatedly.
gollark: Yes, but we could take the book out of the caves, since helloboi """owns"""""" it.
gollark: Well, presumably, the ward will run out of mana at some point.
