The Florentine museum develops on the noble floor of an ancient palace which was confiscated from the Taddei family in the middle of the 16th century by Cosimo I de' Medici to be donated to the secret counselor Sforza Almeni. Not only Cosimo I and Eleonora di Toledo walked in these rooms, but also artists such as Bartolomeo Ammannati and Giorgio Vasari, commissioned to decorate the palace by Sforza Almeni who, after having received so much wealth from the Grand Duke, was tragically strangled by him.
