Eighteenth-century building in the historic center of the city and recently restored, Palazzo de' Rossi is home to Fondazione Caript. A prestigious example of Tuscan architecture, it is characterized by interiors decorated with stuccoes and frescoes, a monumental staircase that connects the three floors of the palace, and a representation room located on the noble floor. The central part of the Palazzo was started in 1749 based on the design by Raffello Ulivi and was completed at the end of the 18th century with the addition of the south wing, designed by Salvatore Piccioli. The interior was completed in the first half of the nineteenth century with substantial decorative uniformity. The vaulted ceilings were decorated with motifs typical of the early 19th-century taste by the painters from Pistoia Valiani, Fini, and Bezzuoli. Thanks to the rearrangement of the exhibition rooms on the ground floor, the Palazzo now becomes a center dedicated to twentieth-century art from Pistoia, a reference point for the understanding of the various artistic generations that have succeeded throughout the last century.
