Detail of a leaded restored Renaissance window

The Palazzo Alberti-Corsi is a late 15th century town house or palazzetto. It was eventually bought by an English art historian Herbert Percy Horne, who restored the residence to what he determined was its original state. He left it to the state after his death. The interior is fascinating and each room has a determined young security person who enforces "no foto." However in one small room where the leaded window glass appealed to me, I managed a quick shot with my pocket Canon G10. The varying thicknesses of the glass roundels appear in different shades of blue and pale orange.
