The History
of Palazzo Pepi
Palazzo Pepi is not just a backdrop for our Atelier. Recognized as a national monument, it offers visitors not only a testament to high-quality artisanal art but also an immersive experience in Florentine history, a journey that connects the ancient to the modern in a timeless dialogue.
The Palace, dating back to the early fifteenth century, has undergone significant transformations over the centuries, taking on its current dimensions. Between 1441 and 1553, it was joined to several neighboring houses, some of which belonged to the noble Bonfanti family. It has passed through the ages, changing hands among the most illustrious noble families, including the Serragli, the Strozzi, and the Pucci, until in 1653, it came into the hands of the Pepi family, who had by then assumed a prominent role in the city’s social life.
Every corner of this palace tells a piece of Florentine history, enriched by the events of the Pepi family, whose ties to the spice trade trace back to the island of Cyprus.
The large central hall leads to an inner courtyard, animated by graffiti and mural paintings that tell stories of a bygone era, while an ancient acacia tree dominates the scene, adding a touch of nature to this historic setting.
