Florence, Italy: culture and tradition
In a wooden structure, the Theater had a large stage. It exhibited three tiers of boxes supported by a large loggia, making it the first architectural example of an "Italian" theater. A series of rooms and courtyards made the environment soundproof from the neighboring streets. It could accommodate over a thousand people, housed in the boxes and in the loggia open to the stalls, where the audience sat on fixed benches and in two distinct sectors to separate the male audience from the female one. In the center of the room, there was the area reserved for the most illustrious members of the Academy.In the nineteenth century, La Pergola expanded its activities to singing, dance, and opera, setting up high-quality programs with Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi, Rossini, Pacini, Ricci, etc. Since 1925, the Teatro Della Pergola has been a national monument.There are many other points of interest in this street. At number 59, you will discover the plaque affixed to the building, reminding us that Benvenuto Cellini created Perseus in those environments and died here in 1471.Discover San Giovanni

[post_content] => The Palace is right in the middle between Ponte Vecchio and Piazza Pitti. Its construction in the 1950s was the work of the famous architect Giovanni Michelucci, a figure of great importance in modern, Italian, and international architecture of the 1900s.
The style of the building is considered a successful example of the insertion of modern architecture in an urban context of high historical value.
All this is evident from many technical construction details of the building (the stone cladding, the large Florentine-style roof) and, above all, from the cutting of the apartments and commercial funds inspired by the fascinating house-workshop relationship of the medieval tradition.
Even today, in the 165 square meters of this large apartment, it is re-proposed the ancient functional distribution of the interior spaces on two separate levels (the first one once dedicated to working (artisan or commercial) and the second one to private residential use).
The two levels are large, open, and bright.
Interior spaces
On the first level:
entrance and large bright living room with great views,
kitchen,
bath,
balcony.
On the second level:
two large double bedrooms
two bathrooms
study
balcony.
The style of the interiors, the choice of finishes, and furniture are in total harmony with the construction style of the time. The result of the reinterpretation is of great style and elegance.
The apartment is on the third floor and has a lift.A cellar on the ground floor completes the property.
Equipment of the apartment.
Independent heating system
Double glazing
Air conditioning
Outdoor spaces.
The apartment has south-east-facing balconies overlooking Guicciardini street, a road connecting two magnificent places in the historic City, such as Ponte Vecchio and Piazza Pitti. It is a privileged position in the Oltrarno district that allows you to enjoy the atmosphere of Renaissance Florence from your windows.
Even the views to the west allow pleasant views of historical characters, such as a tower house of the thirteenth century and a lovely small internal square, Piazzetta Dello Sprone. Recently redeveloped and donated to the City, it has become a space open to all to enhance children's cultural, musical, and high craftsmanship projects and workshops. A small oasis where you can enjoy a pleasant stop just a stone's throw from Ponte Vecchio and Piazza Della Passera.
Why buy this property in Florence.
This apartment constitutes a unique piece of modern architecture of high value in a historical context appreciated worldwide.
It can be ideal for a high-profile private investment in the World Heritage Site old center of Florence.
A real estate investment in Florence has always been one of the most reliable financial assets in the medium to long term.
This trend will continue to grow in the next few years due to the interest concentrated on Florence by big international investment groups.
Logistics.
The apartment is the core part of the old town, more precisely in the Oltrarno district, the southwest part of the City. It is in an amazing position in between Ponte Vecchio, Piazza Pitti, and Piazza Santo Spirito.
It's one of the most lively areas of Florentine nightlife. The area is rich with small workshops for restoration, antique shops, restaurants, and specialty shops. Of course, the district concentrates on cultural masterpieces and places of particular cultural interest (Palazzo Pitti and the beautiful Boboli Garden, Santo Spirito, Carmine Square, and San Niccolò).
Visiting the neighborhood is accessible on foot. There is an excellent taxi and minibus service to get around anywhere, in and out of the center. The Santa Maria Novella Railway Station is just 10 minutes away on foot. It is one of the most critical hubs to vastly reach Rome, Milan, Bologna, Pisa, and all the main airports.
