Map

The name Via dei Renai reveals that here was a deposit of sand left by the river Arno. Before the redesigning of the river banks by Giuseppe Poggi, this whole area was called Piazza delle Molina, which also included the present Piazza Poggi because of the presence of mills on the banks of the Arno. Via dei Renai is bordered towards the river by Piazza Demidoff, in memory of the Russian industrialist family. But on both sides of the street are important buildings linked to the history of Florence.
