This is the first episode of the special series “Florence told by our rooms”, and to start in a very Florentine way, we choose room 61, which represents the Santo Spirito Church, located in Oltrarno, which is the locals’ neighborhood in the center of the city.

In fact, Santo Spirito can be admired from the window of the room overlooking the Arno. It is a privileged view of the church, as you can see the “hidden side” that overlooks the Arno, and that was originally conceived by Brunelleschi as the facade.

Unfortunately, not everybody was willing to sell their property at the time, so Brunelleschi’s plans changed, and the side you can see from room 61 became the back of the church, equally beautiful as the facade that stands in Piazza Santo Spirito.

But there’s more references to Santo Spirito inside the room. Both in the headboard of the bed and in the shower, the shaped marble reproduces the façade. From the porthole you can admire the church again, and it recalls, as a reference, the rose window of the church.

Not even the bathroom is out of references! The mirror over the sink revokes the facade of Santo Spirito, taking you literally inside the church.
