 This structure is similar to Alberti's Palazzo Rucellai in Florence and other later palaces.Noteworthy is the internal court of the palazzo.The back of the palace, to the south, is defined by loggia on all three floors that overlook an enclosed Italian Renaissance garden with "Giardino all'italiana" era modifications, and spectacular views into the distant landscape of the Val d'Orcia and Pope Pius's beloved Mount Amiata beyond.
