Has anyone visited either of these two locations in Florence by chance? I’m interested mostly as it relates to my reading and interest in history of Machiavelli and Da Vinci. Can’t find much online particularly about Orti Oricellari.
Santa Maria Nuova is an old hospital currently still
operating I believe - but it is where da Vinci kept his money accounts (and possibly performed cadaver studies) …since it’s operating probably something to just walk by the outside …
Orti Oricelli was once referred to as Rucellai gardens in the 1500s and the meeting location for a group of war and political strategists, humanists etc of the time- online it says you can visit by appointment but has no instructions how.
Thanks.
