Numeroventi
A Florentine Artist ResidencyThe high ceilinged spaces breathe airy daylight; and historical details of the 1510 building, the Palazzo Galli Tassi, are preserved beautifully as part of the restful, modern approach to design.
Numeroventi is a quiet space for retreat and contemplation in the heart of Florence. Simple, but luxurious loft apartments encourage guests to enjoy a dose of idleness, while an artists’ residency invites established and emerging artists to explore their practice in a supportive atmosphere.
The high ceilinged spaces breathe airy daylight; and historical details of the 1510 building, the Palazzo Galli Tassi, are preserved beautifully as part of the restful, modern approach to design. Some of the rooms are even left purely for the artists’ use, as a floor to ceiling canvas.
The warm and passionate hosts recruit contemporary artists in whom they intuitively and wholeheartedly invest, and offer a possible exchange for permanent or temporary work, showcased in the Palazzo. The working environment is stimulating and sociable, but above all, relaxed.
