| GIGLIO APARTMENT: The apartment (2+2 sleeping
accomodations) lies in the Ciompi square, in the heart of
the Santa Croce neighborhood. In 1955 the Comune of Florence
had it rebuilt in Piazza dei Ciompi on via Pietrapiana. Originally,
it was located in what is nowaday called Piazza della Repubblica
after the demolition of the Jewish Ghetto and the Mercato Vecchio.
It was designed and built by Giorgio Vasari to substitute for
the original old fish market that was located on the Ponte Vecchio
until 1565, when the construction of Vasari's corridor began.
The structure, simple and linear, is made up of eighteen Doric
columns. It is decorated with terracotta reliefs that depict
different species of fish. Borgo Allegri links Piazza dei Ciompi
to Santa Croce Church. Here in the square stand the antigue
archs of Loggia del Pesce, and the Flea Market. The workshop
of the famous painter Cimabue, born in Florence around 1240,
is also to be found on this street. It is his presence that
gives this street its name. Other talents set up their workshop
on this street such as, painter Rosellino and sculptor Lorenzo
Ghiberti. This nice and cosy flat is a perfect homebase for
1 person or a couple who want to discover Florence while living
in a silent downtown budget flat close to all the main sight.
