He was born in Florence to a well-off, bourgeois family. Following his father's direction he studied accounting but gave up that pursuit as he became enamored with the theater and acting. Respectful of his father's wishes that the family name not be associated with acting, he chose his maternal grandmother's maiden name Palazzeschi as a pseudonym.

“Don’t you know what god is? God is everything and God is nothing; for the perfection created by man cannot be anything other than nothing. They decided to give a name to nothingness, and thereby the made it become something. Like you… God, who is nothing, can no longer be nothing since he is God. You could be a god for men. They need to give a body to nothingness so that nothingness can be seen and touched-at least with the imagination.”
Aldo Palazzeschi, Man of Smoke

“Incendio non vero
è quello ch'io scrivo,
non vero seppure è per dolo.
Àn tutte le cose la polizia,
anche la poesia.”
Aldo Palazzeschi, L'incendiario

“Moriva la madre, il padre, il fratello? Non era il caso di prendersela poi tanto in tempi che il morire era diventata la cosa più indifferente che potesse capitare.”
Aldo Palazzeschi, Due imperi... mancati
