Profile |
Opened in 1948, the former Hotel Azzi, now knows as Locanda degli Artisti, has historical roots, owning the third oldest licence in Florence. Housed in the old building once the home of the Barbera typography it was originally part of a monastery which since the 14th century hosted travellers and pilgrims: its combination of culture and hospitality has made of it a favourite place for artists, writers, painters and theatre people. |
Today Hotel Azzi is still a meeting point, a place for an exchange of information about what's on in town. It's a real "pensione", unique in its non-conventional look and yet its attention to detail, its friendly, original atmosphere. On the premises, decorated with paintings by artists who sojourned here, special evenings are often taking place, dedicated to art exhibitions and concerts: the owners are noted musicians and theatrical artists. |
