The State Archives of Florence (Italian: Archivio di Stato di Firenze) is the repository for the public records and archives of the Italian city of Florence. The archive holds over 600 fonds dating back to the 8th century which, laid out in a line, would stretch over 75 km (46 miles).[1]
History
[edit | edit source]The archive was founded on 20 February 1852, by decree of the Grand Duke Leopold II of Tuscany. Until 1989, the archive was located in the Uffizi.
On 4 November 1966, the River Arno flooded, causing damage to over 60,000 pieces of archival material.[2]: 193–194 The flood instigated the decision to construct a modern building for the archives further from the River Arno. The new building, designed by Italo Gamberini, Rosario Vernuccio, Franco Bonaiuti, and Loris Macci, was begun in 1974.[3] It included a space for the conservation laboratory, which was founded shortly after the 1966 to recover damaged documents.[2]: 195
Between 1987-1988 archival materials were transferred from the Uffizi to their current location, on the Viale della Giovine Italia, near the Piazza Cesare Beccaria in Florence. The new building staff have included Gaetano Milanesi among others.[4]
