Apartment
About This Property
The apartment was restored in May 2015. It consists of a double bedroom, a wardrobe room, a bathroom with shower and Turkish bath, a living room, a mezzanine with a small kitchen and a dining room, a first terrace with table and chairs and a second sun terrace. The apartment is located in Palazzo Capponi alle Rovinate built in 1406 for Niccolò da Uzzano, perhaps designed by Lorenzo di Bicci (Vasari), and completed around 1426. Recent studies also hypothesize the intervention of the young Filippo Brunelleschi, on the basis of consonances with Palazzo Busini-Bardi in via de 'Bardi (circa 1430), this work however also of unsafe attribution. After the death of Da Uzzano (1433) and his brother Agnolo (1435), the palace became the property of a branch of the Capponi family which was called "alle Rovinate" precisely because the palace was facing the Costa dei Magnoli, also called Poggio delle Ruined due to the frequent landslides of the hilly ridge.
The facade on the Arno river was instead built by Giuseppe Poggi between 1872 and 1878, in neo-Renaissance style, when the road along the river was built.
