Firenze Palace is located in Rome, in the Campo Marzio area, in the square of the same name in Florence. It belonged to the del Monte family, then to the Medici of Florence (hence the name): formerly the seat of the Ministry of Grace and Justice, since 1926 it has housed the Dante Alighieri Society and the Italian National Commission UNESCO.
In view of the Jubilee of 1550, Pope Paul III started a grandiose renovation plan of the Campo Marzio district, in a state of neglect since the fall of the Western Roman Empire: the most qualifying element of the project consisted in the opening of the road Trinitatis (the current via dei Condotti and della Fontanella di Borghese), to connect the Pincio area to the port of Ripetta.
When the Farnese died in 1549, the work was continued by his successor, Giulio III del Monte. Taking advantage of the imminent development of the area, between 1550 and 1552 the new pontiff had the purchase of several palaces in Campo Marzio for his family (Balduino, Innocenzo and Fabiano) (which, in the intentions of Pope Julius, should have been transformed into one large residence).
