La Taverna In Firenze

22/05/2024: Passing through Florence for a few hours I visited the Grand Hotel Minerva, whose restoration was the work of the great Edoardo Detti, my professor, for whom I had worked as a studio in the late Seventies. At the reception they welcomed me very cordially and I was able to visit the large rooms on the ground floor, which have kept alive the character of the restorations of the 1960s, in which Carlo Scarpa collaborated. I remembered the privilege of a guided tour by Prof. Detti, up to the small swimming pool on the roof, who had shown me how he had worked hard to design everything, even the letterhead of the "Minerva".
