Lonely Planet review

Cosimo rejected Brunelleschi's design for his new home as too flashy - after which, the furious architect smashed up the model - and plumped instead for Michelozzo's more discreet and refined design. The Riccardi family remodelled the house in the 17th century, but you can still see the Cappella dei Magi, a chapel bursting with the colour of Benozzo Gozzoli's Gothic frescoes depicting the arrival of the Three Wise Men in grand medieval-style procession.
