Monday Matteo Renzi afternoon, the Mayor opened the cloister of the complex of Leopold restored after long work. In this way, another Florentine cloister, in front of the church of S. Maria Novella and Piazza recently restored with a speech, respectful of its history, has been returned to the city. E 'was now complete the second of four lots budgeted for the recovery of all the ex Leopoldine, wholly owned by the city. The third unit will be recovered on the first floor and the fourth one of the remaining buildings that look onto Via Palazzuolo.
We look forward to this fourth batch, which will require a little 'time, because it will help to eliminate the gut feeling that today downgraded the beginning of Via Palazzuolo returning an appropriate framework for the valuable urban architectural complex of San Paolino and Vanchetoni convent. The
recovery on this side of the facades of the former Leopoldine (and perhaps a rethinking of the ugly doors with bars of the Alinari Museum), will be a step important to bring the continuation of the former decumano the center of the fine city to which it belongs. The Mayor stressed the desirability of making the transition from viable way to Piazza S. Palazzuolo Maria Novella, by integrating into the urban context, the cloister, formerly also referred to as public space for art exhibitions, and making it usable by the population and visitors to the city. Let's word this intention by agreeing a work so important to remain open to citizens even if it can be assessed for cooperation with private entities for its management and salvaguadia.
