I took this picture wondering what could have happened over the years beyond this gate.
When I turned the corner, I realized that it was the headquarters for the great designer Emilio Pucci. The Pucci family is from Florence and, therefore, keeps the main office here rather than in Milan. All of the small windows above the balcony are all trompe l'oeil.
I couldn't understand all the African images on the building, but it appears that since Renaissance times the Puccis have had Africans in their coat of arms. Who knew?
