Wikipedia: Palazzo dei Cartelloni, also known as Palazzo Viviani, is in via Sant'Antonino 11 Florence, Italy. This building displays many unusual architectural elements, the most evident being the unusually big epigraphs written in Latin. The owner of the building, the mathematician Vincenzo Viviani, had them applied on the main façade in 1693, in order to celebrate and glorify the life and many discoveries of his master, Galileo Galilei.
