Palazzo Uguccioni is located in Piazza della Signoria in Florence and, after Palazzo Vecchio, it is one of the most important buildings overlooking the square. The sixteenth -century sources are silent of the building; This would confirm a substantial disinterest of the Florentine artistic environment towards the palace at that time. Interest that will begin in the mid -18th century following the attribution of the work to Michelangelo. In 1681 Filippo Baldinucci did not confirm the attribution and in 1722 Ferdinando Ruggeri published a series of reliefs of the facade. However, the building continued to be attributed not only to Michelangelo also to Palladio. Other attributions, more recent, have been made to Bartolomeo Ammannati or Raffaello da Montelupo. But the attribution that most of all has been proposed is that linked to the name of Raffaello, with a more or less direct contribution.
