In the surroundings of the Santa Maria Novella train station, the penthouse is located in front the main access to the Orti Oricellari Garden. The building is part of a construction dated back to the 15th century, that was originally the residence of Florentine noble families and then renovated in the second half of the 19th centutry, when Florence was the capital city of Italy. The Orti Oricellari Garden, that gives its name also to the street, was the residence of the historical Rucellai and Medici families. The present architecture derives from the last restoration commissioned by the marquess Giuseppe Stiozzi Ridolfi, during which it was realized one of the most important English landscape gardens of the city. This has been a meeting point for the most important cultured people for many years. Only 100 meters away from the Santa Maria Novella train station and the Tramvia, this penthouse is in a strategic location: the French School, the Polimoda and several shops are reachable in a few steps.
