Palazzo Mondragone Explained

The Palazzo Mondragone, also known as Palazzo Mandragone, Ambron(n), Ricasoli di Meleto, or Peyron, is a palace located on Via del Giglio #4r-8r in central Florence, region of Tuscany Italy.[1]

The palace was designed by the architect Bartolomeo Ammanati.[2]

Although not originally built by him, the current name stems from Fabio Arrazola de Mondragone, a Medici court intimate from Spanish descent who owned the Palace in the 15th century but ultimately fell in disgrace.[3]
