Michelozzo

	"Donatello made use of Michelozzo for many years because he was very experienced in working marble and in the practice of bronze casting, as bears witness the tomb in San Giovanni at Florence made for Pope Giovanni Coscia, since the greater part of it was executed by him.."

	"Michelozzo was so intimate with him that Cosimo de' Medici, knowing his talent, had him make the model for the house and palace that is at the corner of the Via Larga..Being pleased at what Michelozzo had done, he had it completed under his direction as you can see it today.."

	"On the ground floor there are two courtyards with magnificent loggias, overlooked by little reception rooms, chambers and antechambers, studies, closets, bathrooms, kitchens, wells, and public and private staircases, all very commodious." II-35 Palazzo Medici-Riccardi
	A reconstruction of the original appearance of the palace
	"The public palace of the Signoria threatened to collapse, because some columns in the courtyard were giving way, either because there was too much weight pressing on them, or because of their weak and lopsided foundations, and even perhaps because they had been poorly built with the pieces badly put together." II-36 Palazzo Vecchio
	"..he refounded and rebuilt the columns as they are standing today. And so that his columns might be distinguished from the others, he made some of them at the corners with eight sides, with capitals that have the foliage carved in the modern fashion, and some round; and all are easily distinguished from the old ones made there previously by Arnolfo." II-37 Palazzo Vecchio
