Palazzo Medici Riccardi

The Palazzo Medici Riccardi is a Renaissance palace designed by Michelozzo di Bartolomeo. The rooms inside the palace were immaculate and fancy.  They demonstrate the vast wealth of the Medici Family. I was also informed that family would leave their leftover food outside in the holes for the homeless next to the rusticated masonry.  The ground floor exterior is rusticated masonry. The classical courtyard was incredibly peaceful and serene with its large stone fountain. The Chapel of the Magi contained an elaborate altar. The Eastern Wall depicting the procession of the Magi was quite colorful, portraying a Tuscan landscape.
