the historical garden
Palazzi is a non-profit Community Center that fosters cultural integration within the city of Florence.
The garden belonged to the Bishop of Florence in the 1200s, and was part of a larger property called the Cafaggio del Vescovo mentioned in historical documents as
“a beautiful garden with table grapes and fruit trees that was rented out…”
The building, on the other hand, was divided into two homes known as the “big house and the small house,” and was documented in the 1400s as the property of the Falcucci family.Since then, the palace and the garden have changed private ownership of various families throughout the centuries, hidden from the public until today.The garden today continues captivate with its citrus trees and herbs. Whether you’d like to join a wellness class, check out the spa, participate in an event, or enjoy a lunch/apertivo, you can always stop by Mon-Sat.

The foundation’s fundraising efforts support scholarships for 1, 2, and 4-year academic programs in collaboration with Florence University of the Arts – The American University of Florence.
