| Florence has always been the artists' city par excellence: here
sculptors, painters, poets found their inspiration to create real
masterpieces of inestimable value. Among these artists, the well-known
English author John Milton (1608-1674), actually created his most famous
work, Paradise Lost, in the rooms of Palazzo Gaddi, one of the two
historic palaces hosting Boscolo Hotel Astoria, together with
Palazzo Andrighetti. In this charming hotel in Florence, history lives
in every stone of every wall, revealing the importance of the two
buildings during the past centuries up to nowadays. |
