The Palazzo Medici continued to be used as a residence for younger family members until, too austere for Baroque era tastes, the palace was sold to the Riccardi family in 1659. The Riccardi renovated the palace and commissioned the magnificent gallery frescoed with the Apotheosis of the Medici by Luca Giordano .
The red stone excavated from the site was used in extensions to the palazzo. The building was sold in 1549 to Eleonora di Toledo . Raised at the luxurious court of Naples , Eleonora was the wife of Cosimo I de' Medici of Tuscany, later the Grand Duke. [ 5 ]
The palazzo was then renamed the National Palace and became initially the seat of the Cisalpine Republic's military command and then its Directorate. When the Austro-Russians regained control of Milan in 1799, the French government quickly auctioned most of the palazzo's furnishings and allowed the rest to be looted by the general population.
