Summary

• Italiano: In questa foto edita nel 1908 si vedono al pian terreno le celebri finestre "inginocchiate" disegnate (secondo una tradizione peraltro non supportata da documenti) da Michelangelo Buonarroti per le facciate di Palazzo Medici Riccardi a Firenze. Chunque ne sia il reale inventore, queste sono il protootipo di tutte le finestre "inginocchiate", in gran uso in Toscana nel periodo manierista e barocco.
• English: In this picture published in 1908 at the ground floor can be seen the famous "kneeling windows", allegedly designed by Michelangelo Buonarroti for the facades of Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence, Italy. Whoever the real inventor, these are the prototypes of all "kneeling" windows, much used in Tuscany in the mannerist and baroque periods.
