Palazzo Agostini, also known as the Palazzo Rosso, is one of the most distinctive historic buildings along Pisa’s Lungarno Pacinotti. Its striking red‑brick Gothic façade, enriched with terracotta decorations and elegant mullioned windows, reflects the palace’s medieval origins. Built in the 14th century from the unification of two tower houses, it later passed through several noble families before becoming the residence of the Agostini family in 1496. The ground floor hosts the historic Caffè dell’Ussero, founded in 1775, long a meeting place for intellectuals, writers, and patriotsWikipedia+1. Today the palace remains privately owned yet admired from the riverside, offering visitors a vivid glimpse into Pisa’s architectural and cultural heritage.
