The redevelopment of Palazzo Buontalenti by the Agenzia del Demanio (State Property Agency) restores a highly prestigious state-owned asset to the community, transforming it into a space with a profound vocation for art, experimentation, and innovative research. This ambitious project establishes a vibrant international campus for the European University Institute (EUI) and its Florence School of Transnational Governance (STG). By seamlessly blending respect for the building's historical memory with a contemporary and sustainable approach, the initiative not only preserves a Renaissance masterpiece but also creates a dynamic crossroads where European academic excellence meets the cultural fabric of Florence.
