Palazzo Buontalenti (also known in Pistoia as Palazzo Sozzifanti) is an interesting example of late sixteenth-century Florentine architecture, located in the historic center of Pistoia, facing Palazzo de’ Rossi, the headquarters of the Caript Foundation. Impressive in size, but actually little perceived due to the proximity of the surrounding buildings, it features a harmonious and severe internal courtyard characterized by two systems of double-order colonnaded loggia. The name of the Palace is due to the alleged involvement in the design phase of the famous Florentine Bernardo Buontalenti, the trusted architect of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Disused for a long time by the family, the Palace had various uses over the years before the recent restoration. Since 2013, the Caript Foundation has been engaged in organizing exhibition events in its spaces on the ground floor. Now Palazzo Buontalenti is configured as the headquarters of the Pistoia Museums Foundation dedicated to temporary exhibitions, with a particular focus on modern and contemporary art.
