 Antica Sosta dei Viandanti arises on the foundations of an antique inn, dating back to the XV Century. Here, when the city was still surrounded by huge walls, lived merchants who arrived in Florence through the nearby Porta De' Pinti. It was distinguished as one of the economic and cultural centers in Europe. Via Fiesolana, which connected Florence with Fiesole, was the arrival point for all people from the northern countries. |
After encountering the chill of the mountains and the views of the flourished hillsides, they would finally enter Florence. In the various inns close to Santa Croce, merchants, vagrants, bankers and warriors found much hospitality. This incredible blend of customs and traditions created a wonderful atmosphere for diverse cultures. |
