The decorative and architectural history of the 19th-century building that is home to the American Consulate in Florence, Italy.
Palazzo Canevaro, today home to the American Consulate, is an elegant 19th-century edifice located on the Lungarno Vespucci in Florence. From its construction in 1857 until the first half of the 20th century, the building underwent significant modifications and adaptations, without altering a significant number of architectural and decorative features of extreme historical, artistic and conservative interest. The aim is to bring a property arising at the time in which Florence was the capital of Italy to the attention of the city, scholars and all those interested, retracing the main historical, architectural and ornamental phases.
This volume was published thanks to the contribution and collaboration of the American Consulate General in Florence with Studio Arts College International (SACI).
