About
The palazzo dell’Arcone di Piazza is a civil building in the historical centre of Florence, located at Piazza della Repubblica 5, corner Via degli Anselmi 2, Via Pellicceria, Via degli Strozzi 1- 2, Via de' Brunelleschi 5. The large building, erected to a design by architect Vincenzo Micheli (1895), defines itself as a scenographic backdrop to the square, laid out from 1883 with the destruction of the Mercato Vecchio and the Jewish pond. Beyond its being a palace, the architecture transcends the need to offer a civil dwelling building in the bourgeois sense, to become a monumental urban sign, and impose itself through the great archway leading onto Via Strozzi, developed to include the two orders of the façades of the lateral buildings, each of which is developed for a further six axes, the last of which is overhanging.
