Building history: |
"The palace was built during the
big project of Risanamento del Mercato Vecchio (Reorganization of the
Old Market), that deeply changed the shape of the historical center of
Florence. The construction was completed in 1892, by the
Architect Giuseppe Boccini, but was subjected to repeated
interventions. The distributive plan remained unchanged, with the
exception of the roof which was modified in the second half of the
1900s." - S. Leggiero, Palazzo

Architect and interior designer Alex Meitlis has overhauled the entire building, known locally as Palazzo Degli Angeli. He’s preserved the 19th-century structure’s original stonework, wooden shutters and its intricate sgraffito decorations, which are scratched into plasterwork. |
