Florence is aimed at showing how one of the Italian cities most
strongly linked with its past, the quintessential symbol of the
Renaissance period, conceals a myriad of innovative architecture.
Florence is not a static city. It has often been guilty of long
delays and a certain lack of courage in assimilating new
approaches, but its way of introducing contemporary architecture
into a consolidated context, is unique. Changes with great impact
began in Florence at the end of the 19th century with the urban
planning transformations designed by Giuseppe Poggi. The strongly
defined limits of the historic centre became blurred with the
demolition of the fortifications and the city was opened up to
permit expansion. In the 1930s, the Rationalist design of the Santa
Maria Novella Station introduced a new form of architectural
expression into the historic centre and outskirts of the city. This
is the building that begins the itinerary proposed in this guide; a
chronological, but also a physical beginning: a starting point for
visitors to begin their architectural excursion.
