Michelucci Foundation

Giovanni Michelucci, a great protagonist of 20th century Italian culture, was one of the greatest Italian architects of the 20th century.  In the Foundation's headquarters, Villa Il Roseto which is the house where he lived the last years of his life, the archive, the architect's memoirs, drawings, models and library collections can be consulted. Furniture designed by him and paintings by his wife Eloisa Pacini can be admired, along with many works of art by architect and artist friends.

The spot is breathtaking for the view on the city of Florence and it is is surrounded by a fully terraced garden full of hydrangeas, roses, azaleas and adorned with trees: olive, cypress, orange, pomegranate, cherry and typical Mediterranean plants.

The villa is the headquarters of the Michelucci Foundation, but on several occasions it can be visited.
