Palazzina Reale di Santa Maria Novella, 1935
Via Valfonda
Florence, January 2025
“The building was inaugurated together with the station on 30 October 1935 in the presence of King Vittorio Emanuele III and Minister Costanzo Ciano. Intended as a temporary residence and rest stop for the King and his court (who no longer had access to the Pitti Palace after it had been opened as a museum), the building, whose ‘style’ architecture appears ‘far from the fluid rationalism of the Fabbricato Viaggiatori’, is characterised by the preciousness of the covering materials, the sophistication of the details and the finishings.” (Palazzina Reale di Santa Maria Novella, Wikipedia)
