Draft:Palagio di Guardavia

Historic building in Florence, Italy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Palagio di Guardavia or Villa Artimini is a historic building in Florence, located on Via di Soffiano, at the intersection with today's Via Coppo di Marcovaldo.[1]


History

In the 15th century the palace was owned by the Ugolini d'Oltrarno family; in 1517 it passed to the del Garbo family and from them to the Artimini family (1589), a powerful family who settled in Florence from the castle of Artimino (PO), who owned it for a long time.[1]

The villa was recorded in Vittorio Gabbrielli's plan (1775) together with other buildings owned by the Artimini family; in the land registry of 1832 it was recorded, again owned by the family in question, as a farmhouse with a vegetable garden (maps 447–449); to the north of the villa the Artimini family owned a vineyard and poplar working land (maps 450–451) and another farmhouse. In 1896 the building was also known as Podere Artimini.[1]

Today the building has been sold and converted into a condominium.[1]
