In 1515, Lorenzo di Averardo Serristori took”at perpetual level” by the Officers of the Towers a piece of land at the Renai of San Niccolò and began to build you up a small palace. For stylistic similarities the Palace was attributed to Giuliano da Sangallo, who worked in those years in Florence.
The plan of the original building had a “U” shape, with a quadrangular courtyard that overlooked a large garden. In the seventeenth century by will of Antonio Serristori, governor of the port of Leghorn, the “garden house” was transformed into a sumptuous palace. The architect Gherardo Silvani was commissioned for the restoration and transformation. The architect Felice Gamberai completed the sumptuous ballroom, built over the original courtyard, then decorated by Pier Paolo Lippi, Agnolo Gori and Cosimo Ulivelli. During the extraordinary urban changes of Florence Capital and in consequence of the partial expropriation, Count Alfredo Serristori Falciani commissioned the architect to redesign the prospectus on the river bank; the work, which also involved the internal layout of the palace, was executed in 1873. Subsequent works, commissioned by Senator Umberto Serristori (1861 – 1941) saw the masterpieces of many extraordinary Florentine artisans.
