November 4, 1966 — the day of l’Alluvione. Florence remembers.
That morning, the Arno overflowed and the city was swallowed by water and mud. Yet Florence did not surrender.
From that devastation rose something extraordinary: a community united by courage and love, and by the “Mud Angels” who came from all over the world to save not only masterpieces and churches, but the soul of Florence itself.
From the terraces of Antica Torre Tornabuoni, we look over a city that was reborn from the water — stronger, prouder, and forever grateful.
Because l’Alluvione was not only a tragedy; it was a lesson in humanity, resilience, and the power of solidarity.
💙 Florence does not forget.

🚉✨ On this day in history — October 30, 1935 — Florence celebrated the inauguration of Santa Maria Novella Station, a true icon of 20th-century modern architecture.
Designed by the Gruppo Toscano, led by Giovanni Michelucci, this groundbreaking project redefined the dialogue between innovation and tradition. Its clean, horizontal lines were conceived to respect the nearby Basilica, while the use of pietra forte, glass, and steel created a striking harmony between old and new.
The famous glass wall — known as the “cascata di vetro” or “waterfall of glass” — still floods the station with light, embodying the elegance and vision of Italian Rationalism. Inside, murals by Ottone Rosai and Mario Romoli remind us that even a railway station can be a work of art.
