This Palace also housed the Habsburg-Lorraine and the Kings of Italy from the House of Savoy.
The name of the Palaceis the one of its first owner, the Florentine banker Luca Pitti, who started the construction in the XVI century. - Piazza della Signoria: Piazza della Signoria, an L-shaped square, is located halfway between the Duomo and the River Arno.
