Profile


 
Three apartments located in an old 16th-century palazzo on Lungarno delle Grazie. Palazzo Bombicci Pontelli, property of a noble Florentine family, stands in the heart of Florence, close to Piazza Santa Croce, the National Library and just a step away from Ponte Vecchio and the renowned Uffizi Gallery.
 
A big coat of arms distinguishes Palazzo Bombicci Pontelli, which also has a large façade and a garden on Lungarno delle Grazie. The first owners, the Caffarellis, to whom the coat of arms refers, sold it to the Pasinis, who transferred it to the Guiduccis who in turn sold it to the Della Fontes.
 
During the second half of the 16th century the Della Fontes transferred the palazzo to the Della Renas, an important family native of Val di Sieve who commissioned imposing works, decorating the interior with paintings and stuccos.

The palazzo then became property of the Puccis and was later acquired by the Pomis.
 

In 1815, it was given as dowry to Teresa Pomi, wife of Guglielmo Bombicci. The Bombiccis had been living on Corso dei Tintori for quite some time and were members of the "Arte della Lana" (Guild of Wool).
 
Count Cesare Bombicci Pontelli collected several works of art in the palazzo.

The palazzo was later inherited by
its current owners, the Guicciardini Counts and, following the 1966 flood, it was carefully restored, enhancing the oldest part, still visible on the ground floor.
