The environment becomes a museum of the soul, an archive of its experiences; it rereads its own history, it is perpetually conscious of itself; the atmosphere is its resonating chamber, the only place where its strings can express their true resonance." These are the words of Mario Praz, nostalgic singer from a Europe which perhaps no longer exists, a singer of suffused rhythms from a civilization which has in some way disappeared
Environment here means protected space, suspended from the chaotic flow of time, a refuge by choice, a happy landing.
In the heart of downtown Florence, in Piazza Santa Maria Novella, just a few steps from the Renaissance church bearing the same name, one of these rare, extraordinary islands in the sea of life can be found.
