Where did someone rich and powerful live in renaissance Italy? In a palazzo, of course! A palazzo was more than just a building for people to live in; it was a public statement about a familyâs honor, wealth, and education. This video focuses on the Palazzo Rucellai in Florence, created by Alberti.
