The building is formed by the union of two pre-existing buildings; the first core has a facade work Cigoli and was restored in 1744 by Pietro Paolo Giovannozzi who designed the new scale; Giulio Mannaioni in 1753 enlarged the building in the street on the Maffia side. The second group belonged to the family of Pecori who operated a renovation of the building in the seventeenth century relying architect Pier Francesco Silvani.

The building's interior is characterized by many works of art including various frescoes on the ceilings and ceilings by Giuseppe Zocchi, Luigi Catani, Poccetti Bernardino, Niccolò Contestabile and Giuliano Traballesi.
