Palazzo Pecori Giraldi
This palace is located on the south side of the River Arno at Via San Niccolo 119, east of Piazza Mozzi.
During the Second World War King Rupert lived here with his younger son Prince Heinrich in a small apartment owned by Contessa Pecori-Giraldi, mother-in-law of Baron Theodor von Fraunberg. 1 By happy co-incidence above the windows of the second floor (first floor up) is a coat of arms of a lion rampant. King Rupert's four youngest daughters resided nearby at a pensione on the other side of the River Arno with Countess Paula Bellegarde.
