| No e-mail available | | Description | | The seat of the Florence University of the Arts is located in the historic Palazzo Doni, just a few steps from the splendid Piazza Santa Croce in the quarter of Florence that takes its name from the celebrated church. The Palazzo has witnessed the visits of important historical figures such as the famed artist Raffaello Sanzio who in 1505 was commissioned with the task of painting the portraits of the palace proprietor Agnolo Doni and his wife Maddalena Strozzi. A marble plaque marking his stay was erected in the archway connecting the courtyard to the street during 20 th century renovation, sealing his presence and artistic spirit within the walls of the present-day institution.
And thus the students operate and cultivate their experiences in an evocative and pervasive frame of influence dating back to an illustrious past. Upon entering the two palazzi that house the university, students find themselves immersed in a modern, minimalist interior in which carefully preserved vestiges of the past manifest themselves in a harmonious environment dedicated to the advancement of artistic disciplines. One has the possibility of learning the latest technological
procedures of a given media such as video in a lecture hall graced by original Renaissance wooden ceiling beams and other such architectural gems that abound in the interiors and exteriors of Palazzo Doni and Palazzo Guicciardini-Strozzi, located just across the street.
