The series Firenze is directly inspired by the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Florence, the oldest octagonal building in the city, mentioned in Dante’s Divina Commedia. Like the Baptistery it has an octagonal section that recalls the medieval tradition of allegorical symbolism. This solution enhances the rigor of the forms, giving the body the sharpness of a regular geometric solid, typical of Florentine Romanesque.
