Il Palazzo dei Vicari in Scarperia in Mugello
The Palazzo dei Vicari is the very heart of Scarperia: it was built for defensive reasons along the main approach road to Florence. It later became a stately palace and the families that would hold the vicarious office had to leave their armorial bearings on the facade of the palace. That’why today on the main facade you can see so many armorial bearings: your attention will be surely striken by those in terra cotta made by the Della Robbia workshop.
