The Building: Palazzo Lanfredini’s Legacy. Lungarno Guicciardini is steeped in history and Renaissance charm. The building, also home to the British Institute since 1917, was designed by Baccio D’Agnolo and restored with care by Ilaria Sassolini and Lorenzo Capogrosso using traditional Florentine techniques and materials. Built in 1501 and once owned by the noble Lanfredini and Guicciardini families, the palazzo features Renaissance architecture and Roman influences. It has served as a private residence, hotel, and now houses the British Institute's renowned library.
The British Institute of Florence: Established in 1917, the Institute offers English-language resources, cultural events, and a celebrated Thursday afternoon tea at the Harold Acton Library – a favorite among international visitors.
