Antica Torre di Via de' Tornabuoni 1 in Florence is a stunning Historical Residence, centrally located in the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. The Residence is a Medieval Tower dating from the thirteenth century in elegant Via Tornabuoni, synonymous with the most prestigious brands of Florence. In the heart of Florence, in a prestigious 13th century building, you will find the two exclusive

"Residenze d'Epoca" named: "Antica Torre di via Tornabuoni n° 1" and the "Palazzo Gianfigliazzi". The historic building, which belonged to the Gianfigliazzi family until the end of the 18th century, hosted numerous important historical figures. At the beginning of the 20th century, the palace was transformed into a "Piccioli Guesthouse", quickly becoming a favourite residence of the English aristocrats and literati that loved the atmosphere of Florence, birthplace of the Renaissance and the Sweet New Style, with its churches, works of art and unique cultural climate. After the Great War, the Piccioli Guesthouse was closed, but reopened in 2001 under the name "Antica Torre", which was later to become the "Palazzo Gianfigliazzi" in 2008. Thanks to careful restoration work which preserved and brought back to life all of the buildings original appeal, the Via Tornabuoni palace acquired life and warmth once again. The magnificent complex is considered one of the historic "tower houses" of Medieval Florence, and it preserves to this day the original architectural characteristics. It is an admirable example of how man is capable of taking buildings which were once devised for the purposes of war into oasi of peace, culture and hospitality. Guests of the "Antica Torre di via Tornabuoni n° 1" do not consider themselves simply clients, but special guests. They are surrounded by a unique atmosphere of charm and history, while at the same time enjoy an elegant and refined ambience, where the traditional fuses with the modern, offering a truly unforgettable stay. The attention to detail and the warmth of the rooms make the "Antica Torre di via Tornabuoni n° 1" the premier choice when visiting the most beautiful city of art in Italy. This is emphasized, not only by the comfortable bedrooms, but also by the two magnificent terraces with their breathtaking panoramic views over the whole of Florence, which offer unforgettable emotional experiences. Storia della Torre

La casa-torre denominata “Antica Torre Tornabuoni 1” fu costruita nella meta’ del XIII secolo dalla Famiglia guelfa dei Ruggerini e da essi passo’ alla famiglia dei Fastelli o Pietrobono e nei primi del 1300 fu acquistata dai Gianfigliazzi e fu loro residenza fino alla fine del 1700. Essa sorge all’inizio di via de’ Tornabuoni subito oltre il ponte di Santa Trinita a fianco dell’omonima Chiesa. Il nome della famiglia Gianfigliazzi deriva da un certo Giovanni figlio di Galeazzo che fu trasformato in Gian figlio d’Azzo che puo’ essere considerato il capostipite del casato. I Gianfigliazzi non ebbero cariche nella repubblica perche’ considerati Magnati e perche’ erano di tendenza guelfa ma, a seguito della battaglia di Benevento che segno’ il tracollo dei ghibellini, e con la cacciata del Duca di Atene da Firenze alla quale contribuirono validamente, i Gianfigliazzi ebbero onori e cariche. Fino all’anno 1530 la famiglia ebbe trenta priori e dieci Gonfalonieri,diversi cavalieri a speron d’oro, commissari in guerra e ambasciatori. Costruirono case, logge e torri nel quartiere di Santa Trinita e sembra che fosse anche proprietari delle case attorno alla chiesa. La famiglia de’ Gianfigliazzi si estinse nel 1764 con il Canonico Rinaldo di Lodovico. Dall’inizio del ‘900 e fino alla seconda guerra mondiale, gli aristocratici e letterati inglesi, affascinati da Firenze, elessero i locali dell’Antico Torre Tornabuoni come loro residenza preferita. Dopo i vari restauri eseguiti nel corso degli anni, l’antica Torre Tornabuoni, e’ utilizzata, oggi, da un albergo che porta lo stesso nome. L’edificio si sviluppa su quattro piani con tre aperture, su ogni piano, occluse da persiane. La facciata su strada annovera la presenza di mensole e buche pontaie, a riporto degli elementi caratteristici delle torri, ed e’ divisa in tre parti mediante due marcapiani. Questa geometria architettonica richiama la facciata della torre de’ Compiobbesi e si addice piu’ ad un palazzo che ad una torre. Il prospetto termina con un aggetto costuito con beccatelli che prolungano in avanti il camminamento soprastante, recintato da merli di forma guelfa fatti piu’ per decoro che per necessita’. Accanto alle finestre sono murate le mensole di ferro che, come si e’ detto,servivano per il sostegno di drappi e bandiere esposte nelle festivita’ e ricorrenze importanti.

What if an entire room were designed to send a political message?

Inside Palazzo Pitti, the Sala di Bona reveals how the Medici used art to shape the way their power was perceived. Commissioned by Grand Duke Ferdinando I, its frescoes were created to impress court visitors and present Tuscany as a strong and influential state.

Look up and you will see Cosimo I portrayed almost like an ancient god, holding a compass and a square as symbols of the ruler who built the Tuscan state. Around him appear six virtues associated with good government, including Wisdom, Vigilance, Mercy, and Glory.

The walls continue the story through scenes of Ferdinando I’s military victories and a view of Livorno, the Grand Duchy’s strategically important port.

In the heart of Florence stands a church whose history began long before much of the city we recognize today.

Santa Maria Maggiore already existed in the 8th century and was first documented in 931, centuries before many of Florence’s most famous landmarks were built.

But its ancient origins are not its only source of fascination. On one side of the church, look carefully and you will notice a sculpted female head known as “Berta.” Over time, several legends have attempted to explain who she was and why her face watches over the street.
