Benvenuti Residenze d'epoca Palazzo Coli Bizzarrini
Palazzo Francesconi is a historical palace dating back to the early 15th century. The initial design of this building is attributed to the famous Baldassere Peruzzi in the early part of the XVI century (precisely 1520), while the completion of the building is attributed to the architect Pietro Cataneo.
The building, partially incomplete with regards to the side facing Via del Cavallerizzo, was completed around 1560. From 1788, the Mocenni family came into possesion of the palace, furthering other modifications. From 1906 to today, it is now owned and controlled by the family Coli Bizzarrini. Declared by the Italian Minister for Cultural Art as a building of "particular historical interest", it is located just steps from the historical city center of Siena, with a panoramic view of the entire city. This historical building is noted for the large garden situated around the premises, known as the "Lizza Gardens", which lends a bit of green to the city.
The historical and artistic context of this Peruzziano building is known for its simple yet elegant architecture and high prestige. It is an ideal place for an elegant office, a studio, or a simple yet refined place to relax and spend a few days in this beautiful city of medieval art.

BRIEF ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION
One of the most important examples of sienese architecture from the 15th century, the uncompleted palace in Via del Cavallerizzo has been renovated as an antique residence.
The antique palace, facing Piazza Gramsci, on the corner of Via del Cavallerizzo, is formed principally by two sides: one which faces the piazza, highly evidenced by the original tinted vestment and framed windows; and the other side facing Via del Cavallerizzo, delicately decorated in the 15th century style with marble, which frames the windows of the first and top floors of the noble palace and the respective middle floors. The design includes the use of this precious material to form the borders along the palace, running on the outside of the brick structure.
From the main entry from Piazza Gramsci, one enters towards the main stairs which have access to the five floors above. The service stairs are formed by two ramps, with walls running along the spiral staircase design, which bring one to the floors of the antique residence.
In the center of the court, there is an old open gallery, encased with elegant colums and horn designs.
In the living rooms of the nobile floor, the frescoes of Baldassarre Peruzzi have been conserved to their original state; the frescoed ceilings of the rooms on the first and third floor date back to the XIX century.
