The palace is a fine example of an 18th-century upper-class residence and the collecting taste of its owners, and preserves the furnishings of the time. In 1738 the Martelli family transformed the house in a circulare path throught the rooms in order to make the family collection more enjoyable to visitors; today, it represents the last Florentine example of private collection constituted between the XVI and XVII centuries. The picture gallery contains paintings by Piero di Cosimo, Domenico Beccafumi, Salvator Rosa, Luca Giordano and 17th-century Nordic painters.
