Palazzo Rucellai

Palazzo Rucellai was built by B. Rossellini between 1446 and 1451. It was wanted by Giovanni Il Magnifico and designed by Leon Battista Alberti.

It is a three-floor building with coats-of-arms of the Rucellai family on the facade. On the first level there are Doric columns, on the other floors the columns are Ionic and Corinthian, with double-arched windows.

A curiosity regarding Alberti: he wrote "Descriptio Urbis Romae" in which he described the eternal city and he concluded that not only are literature and philosophy noble arts but, together with mathematics, they can be transposed in architecture, hence during construction he adapted the antique orders to this modern, city building.
