Meeting Up With Felicitas

Within walking distance or a short bus ride from the historic centre and covering the entire block between via Ghibellina and via dell'Agnolo, just before viale Giovine Italia, Le Murate is one of Florence's major architectural success stories of the past 20 years. Based on plans made in 1998 by the renowned Italian architect Renzo Piano, Le Murate is also one of the best new places in the city to hang out. Since its official opening in April 2011, the complex, which includes public housing, parking, shops, restaurants, bars and open spaces, has become a cultural and recreational hub. Happy to meet up with Aria's old friend Felicitas.
