Numeroventi: Florence’s Living Canvas of Art, Design, and Modern Heritage
Where Renaissance grandeur meets minimalist modernism in a creative symphony of light, space, and soul.
Beyond a Stay—A State of Mind
In a city defined by masterpieces, Numeroventi dares to create new ones. Housed within a restored Renaissance palazzo in Florence’s historic center, this visionary project is more than accommodation—it’s a creative ecosystem. Part artist residency, part design lab, part cultural hub, Numeroventi is where travelers, artists, and thinkers converge to live, work, and dream within walls that have witnessed centuries of art. Conceived by Martino di Napoli Rampolla and Alessandro Modestino Ricciardelli, in collaboration with Andrew Trotter of Openhouse Magazine, Numeroventi redefines the notion of the boutique stay. It’s not a hotel, not quite a gallery—something in between, where every object, shadow, and texture is part of a living dialogue between past and present.
Design as Storytelling
Step through the vaulted corridors and you’ll find yourself in spaces that feel simultaneously ancient and modern. The interiors are stripped back to their essentials—bare plaster walls, soaring ceilings, and vast windows that flood the rooms with soft Tuscan light. This minimalist framework becomes a stage for vintage European furniture, handpicked from Italy, France, Spain, and the UK, each piece chosen not for uniformity but for soul. The design language is pure Andrew Trotter: Scandinavian restraint meets Mediterranean warmth, softened by natural textures and imbued with a palpable sense of calm. It’s a meditation in light and proportion—a place that breathes. Every apartment is unique, yet together they tell a cohesive story—one that honors Florence’s Renaissance legacy while embracing a distinctly contemporary rhythm.
A Home for Creatives and Curious Souls
But Numeroventi isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about energy and exchange. The space functions as an artist residency, coworking studio, and cultural platform, hosting exhibitions, dinners, and collaborations that bring its creative community to life. It’s where ideas are made tangible, and where guests—whether artists in residence or design-minded travelers—become part of something larger. From your window, the Duomo looms so close it feels like part of the architecture itself. “It gives me goosebumps every time,” says founder Rampolla—and when you see that view bathed in late-afternoon light, you’ll understand why.
DNA Hotels Verdict
Numeroventi is Florence reimagined—a place that honors the city’s artistic lineage while carving out its own future. It’s part atelier, part sanctuary, and entirely one-of-a-kind. For travelers who seek more than luxury—who crave connection, creativity, and authenticity—Numeroventi is not just a stay, but an invitation: to slow down, to look closer, and to live artfully in the heart of Florence.
