Florence’s Central Market, a historic monument and gastronomic center in the city center, was founded in 1874. The market was first constructed as part of Florence’s urban redevelopment while it was the capital of Italy. It was created by Giuseppe Mengoni, who was also the architect of Milan’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and was influenced by the opulent Halles in Paris.
In Florence’s historic center, close to the Casa di Dante (Dante’s House), lies a fascinating hidden image: the Face of Dante. This mysterious face, etched onto a stone slab, only becomes visible when the pavement is wet.
The flood of 1966 remains a historic event in Florence, symbolizing both tragedy and resilience. The “Mud Angels” (Angeli del Fango), volunteers who came from across Italy and around the world to help rescue and restore art and books, are remembered as heroes.
There is only a targa commemorative of Dante’s true sasso “Stone”; there is nothing else. The falso is located in the vicinity of the restaurant “Il Sasso di Dante” on the little square of the Pallottole.
Among the legends of Florence also appears to be the Coboldo of via del Corno, namely an ancient “elf” linked to the street of the historic center, near via dei Leoni.
