	Palazzo della Cancelleria
		Analogies with "Palazzo Rucellai" are evident, but the shrewdnesses used in the proportions of "Palazzo della Cancelleria" mark an improvement in comparison with the dull copy carried out by Rossellino in Pienza.
		In "Palazzo della Cancelleria" the rythm is more complicated than in Palazzo Rucellai, for the alternating of a narrow span without windows closed between pilaster strip in pairs and a wider span with window, so the rythm AABAABAA of Palazzo Rucellai, is replaced with ABABAB.
		The faade of the inside courtyard presents a tighter relationship with Palazzo Rucellai because it is directly simplified from the prospect of the Colosseum, with columns on the lower fllor and pilaster strip on the last upper floor.

		Actually Palazzo Medici rationalizes the characteristics of the medieval palace, stressing new elements that were however not as revolutionary as they presumably were in Brunclleschi's model, which Cosimo refused, and from which it is highly likely that Michelozzo derived various features.
		What distinguishes Palazzo Rucellai from Palazzo Medici, as well as Palazzo Pitti, is the use of a system of superimposed classic orders and the rustication seen as a continuous design that results from a modular pattern of horizontal and vertical lines.
		Palazzo Tornabuoni (circa 1450 thoroughly restructured in the nineteenth century), is attributed by Vasari to Michelozzo and defined "almost completely similar to the palace he had made for Cosimo, except that the facade is not rusticated nor does it have cornices above, but is ordinary".

		The building was executed in numerous stages as the Rucellai patriarch purchased more of the houses adjacent to his own; one of the bays actually remained unfinished since the family failed to purchase the property next door.
		Ironically, however, the "new" elements in the Palazzo Rucellai are actually very old: the imposition of classical elements over the façade that creates a unified and ordered appearance calls to mind, for example, the architecture of the Roman Coliseum.
		Though the façade of the Palazzo Medici is of an imposing and creative design, Alberti's design of the Palazzo Rucellai shows him to be one of the true architectural virtuosos of his age, creating a wonderfully harmonious work of art.

		It’s believed that Alberti’s model for the Plazzo Rucellai facade was the Colosseum but he adapted its architecture to a flat wall and applies the classical elements through his own style.
		Using the flat pilasters and the rustication of the stone blocks, he has created a kind of linear net that stretches across the front of the building and not only unifies the three levels but emphasizes the trend in the 15th century for precision, simplicity and logic in design.

		Nel palazzo della Cancelleria il ritmo si fa più complesso, di quello di Palazzo Rucellai, per l' alternarsi di una campata stretta priva di finestre racchiusa fra lesene binate e di un ampia campata più ampia con finestra, quindi il ritmo AABAABAA di Palazzo Rucellai, viene sostituito da ABABAB.
		Il problema dell' angolo anche qui è risolto come a palazzo Venezia con un pilastro a forma di L. Sono stati tutti questi sottili accorgimenti a indurre a credere che, se c' è stato effettivamente un intervento di Bramante, è in questa parte dell' edificio.
