The Palazzo Pitti is a building in the Oltrarno district of Florence. Girolamo Savonarola took up residence here after taking over Florence in 1494, and lived there until the people of Florence, hating his anti-materialist laws, finally burned him at the stake on May 23 1498.[1]
Database Entry
Intended as a grand display of wealth by Luca Pitti, the Pitti Palace was left incomplete when Luca ran out of money and died in 1472. The severe Roman-style architecture is reminiscent of the craggy stone arches of the ancient imperial aqueducts found outside Rome.[1]
