Car Hire in Florence Novoli - Mini guide to Florence Novoli

Tucked away in the north western quarter of Florence is the Novoli district. The area is steeped in history and culture. Much of the area was heavily damaged during WWII and underwent urban regeneration in the 1970s. In the latter half of the 20th century, Florence Novoli became well-known for its production of arts and crafts.

In the 19th century, Novoli was home to Count Nicholas Demidoff who constructed the Villa di San Donato. It was by no means an ordinary villa. Construction began in 1822 and its grounds included a luxurious palace, churches, a silk factory, zoo, gardens, and a railway. The war years left the structure in ruins, however these may be visited during your visit to Florence Novoli.

While by no means as grand, Florence Novoli is home to what is known as “the Big, Bad Palace”. Completed in 1910, the Palazzo di Giustizia now houses Italy’s Supreme Court of Appeals.

Florence Novoli is home to a lively fruit and vegetable market, Mercato Ortofrutticolo as well as the University of Florence’s School of Social Sciences. Novoli’s streets are lined with many crafts shops, restaurants and cafés.
