The history of the palace begins in the 13th century, when Folco Portinari, a well-known Florentine banker and founder of the Santa Maria Nuova hospital, had a series of houses built for his family. Between 1470 and 1480, his heirs transformed the entire complex into a grand mansion, possibly using the services of Michelozzo. Among others, Folco Portinari was the father of the equally famous Beatrice Portinari, Dante's muse. The poet's verses are inscribed on a plaque on the palace fa�ade.

The palazzo thus created was purchased in 1546 by Jacopo Salviati, Lorenzo de' Medici's son-in-law, who oversaw a further extension that lasted almost a decade under the possible supervision of Bartolomeo Ammannati or Alessandro Allori. Some of the palace's most illustrious guests are linked to the Salviati family, including Maria Salviati, wife of Giovanni de' Medici (better known as Giovanni dalle Bande Nere) and mother of the future Grand Duke Cosimo I. As great patrons and art lovers, the Salviati family kept unique works by artists such as Donatello, Verrocchio, Cellini, Bronzino and Correggio in the palazzo.

In 1768 the palace was sold to the Ricciardi-Serguidi family, then passed on to Pietro Leopoldo di Giannozzo da Cepparello in 1803. The building was then purchased by the Municipality of Florence which established the Liceo Ginnasio Fiorentino there. With the unification of Italy and the movement of the capital to Florence in 1865, the Italian government identified the palace as the seat of the Ministry of Justice and Religion: for the occasion, a further expansion of the building was carried out (1866) following a design by Francesco Mazzei and Nicola Nasi which added sixteen rooms to the palace.

With the moving of the capital to Rome, the ministry moved and the building was occupied by the Cassa di Risparmio and the Pious Schools of the Piarist Fathers.

In 1921 the Palace was acquired by Credito Toscano, a famous Florentine bank, which maintained ownership for almost a century until 2008.

After a careful restoration in 2022, the property was converted into a luxury residential building incorporating various private apartments and a resort with large common spaces.
