The Franco Zeffirelli Museum opposite Palazzo Gondi

In early June, opposite Palazzo Gondi in piazza San Firenze, the long-awaited Franco Zeffirelli Museum will open in the spaces of the Complesso di San Filippo Neri, one of the rare examples of the Baroque style in the centre of Florence and the most important of that style’s late period.

Palazzo Gondi, a Renaissance jewel in the shadow of Palazzo Vecchio, was built by Giuliano da Sangallo at the behest of Giuliano Gondi in 1489
