Florence Italy |
Santa Maria Novella is named after the Santa Maria Novella church--a Dominican basilica and important cultural centre during the Middle Ages. The train station of the same name (designed in the 1930s by the young architect Michelucci) is also situated nearby. Not far from the station is the Basso Fortress, which is now used as an important centre for conferences, conventions and exhibitions. The zone is also home to the Parco delle Cascine, one of the city's green oases. Via Tornabuoni, a street which is famous for being home to some of Italy's most prestigious designer boutiques, like Versace and the Florentine Ferragamo, also runs through the area.
