The building was commissioned by the Grand Duke Francesco I de' Medici, who, although he was already married to Giovanna d'Austria, had foolishly fallen in love with Bianca Cappello and decided to build the Palace by Bernardo Buonotalenti, in a position closest to the grand ducal residence of Palazzo Pitti. A few months later, Bernardino Poccetti was entrusted the decoration of "grotesque" of the façade, which represents the path of the two lovers through symbolic allegories. The subjects represented are usually masks, human figures, animals, spiral plants, putti, being winged, flowers, fruits, defenses, harps and especially vases: an infinity of decorative elements of high symbolic value.
Above the Medici Stemma, in the center of the wall of the Palazzo di Via Maggio, a king and a queen look closely and their eyes appear to remember the moment when Prince Francisco I de 'Medici and the noble wife Bianca Cappello 'swear eternal affection'.
