Problems with street numbers in Florence?

Let’s try to understand how Via, Viale, Piazza work. These names are the Italian equivalents of Road, Street, Gardens, Avenue, etc. First of all you need to know that in Italy there is a standard group of names that are used in every single city and town. For example, every town has a Piazza del Duomo and a Via Roma or a via Cavour: a whole list of other names that seem almost compulsory it doesn’t matter where you are! Numbers are also complicated to understand, especially in Florence, where it seems that there is no logical sense in them. Let’s try to get the most important rules.

The “royal” home of Tuscany’s Grand Dukes

Palazzo Vecchio, the “Old Palace”, built in 1299 by Arnolfo di Cambio as the seat of the Priori (representatives of the Major Arts) is a real fortress in the heart of town: the massive dimension, the dominating tower (94 meters) and the overhanging soldiers walkway. The palace was later (16th century) modified in order to become the “royal” home of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo I.

La Specola’ Museum was originally called the Imperial Museum of Physics and Natural History and it opened to the public in 1775, under the support of the Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo of Lorraine.

The Museum is now called “Specola”, that means observatory, for the astronomical tower that was added in 1789 and was then substituted, about 100 years later, by the ‘Tribuna di Galileo’ (1839) to tribute an homage to the great scientist – a rare example of late neoclassical architecture in Florence.
