EVENT PROGRAMME
ESE FLORENCE CAMPUS
The ESE Florence centre is located in the
Renaissance palace Palazzo Rosselli Del Turco,
built between 1507 and 1530, and lies in the very
heart of the city in Borgo Santi Apostoli.
Many noteworthy art works were made for the
residence in the form of painted furniture and
frescoes, some of which are now on display in the
Uffizi Gallery.
The campus is located very near to the famous Ponte
Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria and the Uffizi
Gallery. It is centrally located providing students with
immediate access to all the beauty and culture this
city has to offer.
THE VENUE - Teatro Cinema Odeon
The Odeon is one of the first movie theaters in Italy
and it is probably one of the most beautiful of the
whole Italian peninsula.
The Palazzo Strozzino, the building in which the

EVENT PROGRAMME
cinema is located, was built in 1462 and is considered
one of the most interesting examples of Renaissance
architecture.
Built at the behest of Palla Strozzi in 1457, it was
designed by Filippo Brunelleschi. Under the safe
operation of Michelozzo the palace was owned by
the family until the nineteenth century, before being
passed over to the Marquis Carlo Ginori Lisci who
sold it to the City.
In 1904 it was purchased by the Chiari family, one
of the most important hoteliers in the city, with
the intention to tranform it into a luxury hotel. But
already in 1914 the ownership changed his mind.
At the suggestion of the great Eleonora Duse, it was
decided to build a large and elegant movie theater
and the project was entrusted to Adolfo Coppedé.
The completion of the renovation was entrusted
to Marcello Piacentini, a very famous Roman
architect at the time who transformed the back
and the courtyard into an elegant art nouveau
cinema-theatre which was opened in 1922.
To this day the Odeon retains the original sculptures,
tapestries and the wonderful period stained glass
cupola.
Over the years some of the most glamorous names
in show business have appeared in this jewel in
the heart of Florence: musicians such as Louis
Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, actresses such as
Isabelle Adjani and Anjelica Huston and directors
such as Bertolucci, Branagh, Salvatores, Benigni
amongst many other stars.
In 1919, when the works were already at an advanced
stage, the building was acquired by the ItalianAmerican Cinema Society whose president,
Alexander Abolaf, was an important film impresario
with Greek origins.

Florence, as capital city of the beautiful Tuscan
region, is considered the cradle of the Renaissance.
lying adjacent to the Duomo, also rises to a
spectacular height.
It’s secrets are a wonderfully mild climate and an
impressive treasure of architectural and cultural
highlights and artefacts - Michelangelo’s famous
sculpture David never fails to impress. It is the source
of art works with Renaissance patronage and resides
in the constant glow of a prosperous past.
Santa Croce, another landmark church of Florence,
is famous for its fresco cycles and commemorative
monuments. The tombs of Michelangelo, Galileo,
Dante and other historical figures are represented
here with elaborate artistic expressions of pride and
excellence.
The city generates beauty, harmonises nature and
favours exclusivity, highly regarded by an endless
stream of holidaymakers and intrigued visitors.
Florence lists around 80 museums and galleries
responsible for the repository of fine art, of which
the Galleria degli Uffizi is probably the most rich in
Renaissance treasures.
First on anyone’s itinerary must be the cathedral
of Santa Maria del Fiore, otherwise known as the
Duomo of Florence. This commanding structure
occupies the centre of a historic UNESCO World
Heritage site and reverberates with the Florentines.
Climbing some 500 steps to the Cupola, built in
1436, is physically challenging but gives you access
to a fabulous outlook post. Giotto’s bell tower,

today like Gucci and Armani work on or near the
bridge Ponte Vecchio which does more than link
the two banks of the river Arno. The bridge survived
World War II, the flooding of Arno and is a beacon
of architectural heritage. Lastly, the seat of power,
Palazzo della Signoria displays Vasari’s frescoes and
Cellini’s Perseus.
Taking a stroll through these visually attractive
landmarks and bustling crowds is an inspiring
activity in Florence. Non-resident driving is strictly
forbidden in the centre, sizable squares with
cafes may be used for people-watching. Small
narrow streets stretch out in a range of directions.
The Boboli Gardens behind the Pitti Palace and
the hilltop Piazzale Michelangelo are tried and
tested favourites.
The Pitti Palace is the former residence of the Medici
family who wielded considerable political power and
sponsored artisan families.
