The Florence Art Studio is located in the very center of Florence the birthplace of the Renaissence.
The Florence Art Studio is situated in the heart of the ancient center of Florence, only a few steps from the principal historic and artistic places of interest: the Duomo, Bargello, Badia, Piazza Signoria, Palazzo Vecchio, Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, the Basilica of Santa Croce, and the house of Michelangelo , etc…
The Studio is located in the Palazzo Martini-Bernardi on via Ghibellina 121, in an area dense with historic palazzi, near the Bargello and directly in front of the Palazzo Borghese.
The palazzo is layered on a pre-existing medieval construction built by the ancient noble Florentine family the Baroncini. The re-design and construction was carried out in the Florentine Renaissance style. There is a debate as to whether the architect was Bernardino Ciurini (1695-1752), who in 1739 became the architect for the Opera del Duomo, or Giovan Battista Foggini (1652-1725) who became the “primo scultore & architetto primario” to the Grand Duke Cosimo III de’ Medici (1642-1723). In 1914 the palazzo was designated to be of significant historical interest and in 1926 listed as a significant historical building.
