The Place Firenze Hotel Will Show You a New Side of Florence - AFAR
"This Renaissance basilica features a facade completed by Leon Battista Alberti in 1470; its distinctive lettering and humanist design—placing the human being at the center after the Middle Ages—served as a creative and philosophical inspiration during a nearby hotel’s rebranding and is cited as symbolically resonant in Florence’s recovery from recent hard times." - Annie Fitzsimmons
