The Palazzo Pollini Neri, also known as Palazzo Celsi Pollini, is a Renaissance-style urban palace located in Siena. Constructed in 1525 based on designs by Baldassarre Peruzzi, the palace features a polygonal structure built into the hillside. It showcases exquisite frescoes attributed to the studio of Bartolomeo Neroni, including notable works like "Susanna and the Elders." Historically significant, the residence was home to Mino Celsi, a 16th-century Sienese ambassador who fled due to accusations of heresy. The palace remains a private residence but stands as a testament to Siena's rich architectural heritage.
