il VENTOTTO di luglio

via Fiesolana, no. 28
La casa di Giuseppe Martelli.

If I've learned nothing else walking around, reading all the plaques on the walls, it is that if you want to be remembered after your death (in Florence, at least) you should be an architect or an engineer. This guild must make it its goal to commemorate the house of any even somewhat notable architect or engineer who ever lived there.

This is the house of Giuseppe Martelli who was the official government architect for 20 years in the early 1800s.
