On Via de’ Martelli, just steps from the Duomo, this iron-framed clock catches the eye with its elegant details and the name Donzelli on its face.
Its exact history, however, remains a mystery — no official records tell us when it was installed or by whom.
What we can guess is that it dates to the late 19th or early 20th century, when public clocks often bore the maker’s name and were designed to be both functional and decorative.
The ornate bracket and lantern suggest it was meant not just to mark time, but also to add beauty to the street.
Florence holds countless treasures like this one: objects whose stories are partly lost to history, yet still enrich the city’s charm and atmosphere. You just have to look 😉

🏛️ Have you ever heard about Villa Fabbricotti?
It is one of the city’s most elegant 19th-century residences, just beside Florence’s Piazza Libertà.
Built in the mid-1800s for Baron Bettino Ricasoli, the villa later became the property of English nobleman Sir John Temple-Leader before being acquired by the Fabbricotti family.
Surrounded by a vast park with centuries-old trees, it remains a quiet oasis where Florentine history and nature intertwine. 🌳✨

Looking up at Giotto’s Campanile, part of Florence’s Duomo complex 🏛️✨
Begun in 1334 by Giotto di Bondone and completed in 1359, the bell tower rises 84.7 meters high, clad in white, green, and red marble to match the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.
What many don’t know is that, despite being called a campanile, Giotto’s tower was never designed to hold the cathedral’s heaviest bells — its structure was considered too delicate for the vibrations.
Instead, it became a masterpiece of Gothic decoration, with reliefs and sculptures narrating the story of humankind, from Creation to the arts and sciences.

This narrow street, embraced on one side by the arches of the Vasari Corridor and on the other by Renaissance palaces, leads directly to the heart of Florentine culture: the Uffizi Gallery.
Built in 1565 to connect Palazzo Vecchio with Palazzo Pitti, the corridor still watches silently over those who walk beneath it, a reminder of the Medici’s vision and power. 🏛️✨
