Bu form, kentin üzerinde yapılacak tasarımlar üzerinde sınırlandırıcı ve özel çözümler gerektirici bir karar mekanizması görevi üstlenmiştir. Bir tasarımcı olarak mimar, binanın tasarım sürecinde rol oynayan sınırlayıcı ve çevresel kesin kalıplar içinde projeyi geliştirerek özel çözümler gerektiren “arazi toplulukları” üzerinde çalışır. Tarihsel kent bağlamında ise (tarihsel kent merkezleri), bu sınırlama giderek daha belirgin ve koşullandırıcı bir hâl alır. Geçmişte olduğu gibi günümüzde de mimar, yeni ve mevcut binaların arasındaki “ilişki – karşılaştırma – entegrasyon”’u optimize etmek için kentsel parçalar üzerinde spesifik çalışmalara gitmektedir. 15. yüzyılda, Floransa kentinin, imalat ve ticaret faaliyetlerinden kaynaklanan, önemli bir ekonomik refah seviyesine ulaştığı görülür. Bu ekonomik ilerleme kendini en belirgin şekilde yapı üretimi sektöründe göstermiştir. Fakat,

  • Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Embrescia
    Program Third Florentine Weekend Friday, 19 October – Monday, 22 October 2012 Grand Patrons: Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Embrescia Thursday, 18 October - pre-progam 7:00 pm Aperitivo hosted by Lowry and Diana Bell in their Apartment at the Palazzo Tornabuoni to Honor Contessa Maria Vittoria Rimbotti. Palazzo Tornabuoni Via degli Strozzi, 8 Friday, 19 October 8:00 pm Welcome dinner at Palazzo Tornabuoni Palazzo Tornabuoni, a 15th-century palace in the heart of Florence, is today a very special owners-only private residence club. It played a key role in the Renaissance boom of Florence. Its original owner, Giovanni Tornabuoni, whose sister was the mother of Lorenzo the Magnificent, was a leading banker and patron of the arts. And in the 1590s a subsequent owner, Jacopo Corsi, would leave his mark on the city's cultural scene by commissioning composer Jacopo Peri to write the musical entertainment “Dafne” that scholars consider to be the world's first opera. A meticulous four-years’ restoration between 2004 and 2008, conducted under the supervision of the Superintendence for the Artistic and Historical heritage of the city of Florence, has brought back the Palace to the splendor of its Renaissance origins, restoring magnificent Mannerist statues to their pristine state, uncovering hidden frescoes, and revealing elaborate stucco ceilings. Artistic highlights of the Palazzo include a stunning Baroque fresco cycle by Agostino Ciampelli (1578-1640) representing the Biblical story of Esther and Ahasuerus, and the marble statue of Diana the Huntress by Gherardo Silvani (1579-1675) which greets visitors at the foot of the Palazzo's imposing pietra serena staircase.

Il maestro di Leonardo” allestita a Palazzo Strozzi a Firenze e considerata uno dei principali eventi culturali a livello internazionale nell’ambito delle celebrazioni per il cinquecentesimo anniversario della morte del genio di Vinci. Con l’occasione della visita alla mostra, per accrescere ancor più il valore culturale della giornata, e per creare una sorta di filo logico tra la mostra e la Firenze all’epoca di Leonardo, abbiamo deciso con la nostra preziosa guida Carla Lucatti, di abbinare un itinerario a piedi dall’attuale Piazza San Firenze dominata da Palazzo Gondi (nell’attuale via de’ Gondi si trovava la casa dove Leonardo visse in gioventù), a Piazza della Signoria, con Palazzo Vecchio dove aveva iniziato a dipingere la Battaglia di Anghiari, e poi davanti alla chiesa di Orsanmichele per vedere dov’è normalmente collocata l'Incredulità di San Tommaso capolavoro bronzeo di Verrocchio esposto nella sezione della mostra al Bargello, per giungere infine a Palazzo Strozzi sede principale della mostra. Mostra “VERROCCHIO. Il maestro di Leonardo ". Per il 500esimo anniversario della morte di Leonardo Da Vinci, Firenze accoglie dall’8 marzo una grande mostra che celebra Andrea del Verrocchio, l'artista simbolo del Rinascimento fiorentino e maestro di Leonardo da Vinci. L’esposizione, intitolata "Verrocchio, il maestro di Leonardo", sarà ospitata sino al 14 luglio a Palazzo Strozzi con una speciale sezione al Museo Nazionale del Bargello.
