THE AREA This property is located a one mile away from Piazzale Michelangelo, a famous square with a magnificent panoramic view of Florence, 'the' greatest sight of Florence. Dedicated to the great Renaissance sculptor Michelangelo, the square has copies of some of his works found elsewhere in Florence: the David and the four allegories of the Medici Chapel of San Lorenzo. The panorama embraces the heart of Florence from Forte Belvedere to Santa Croce, across the lungarni and the bridges crossing the Arno river, including the Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, the Bargello and the octagonal bell tower of the Badia Fiorentina. Beyond the view of the city itself are the hills of Settignano and Fiesole. Below Piazzale Michelangelo on Viale Giuseppe Poggi there is The Rose Garden (Il Giardino delle Rose): created in 1865 by Giuseppe Poggi, the garden covers about one hectare of land and offers a wonderful panoramic view of the city. Open from 9am until sunset, with free entrance, the garden houses a collection of roses, lemons, and other plants, as well as a Japanese garden. In particular, it contains about 400 varieties of roses for a total of about 1,200 plants. A few meters from the property lies Villa il Gioiello, one of the residences of Galileo Galilei. In the centuries thereafter, the house has had various owners and has been a national monument since 1920 - today, it belongs to the Department of Astronomy.
