Neoclassical architecture in Tuscany

Pasquale Poccianti, Cisternone, Livorno

Neoclassical architecture in Tuscany established itself between the second half of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century within a historical-political framework substantially aligned with the one that affected the rest of the Italian peninsula, while nonetheless developing original features.

Unlike other regions, where architects often arrived from outside during the years of renewal, the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence directly trained the protagonists of a particularly lively period, especially within the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.[1]
