Gazomètre de Florence, Industrial structure in via dell'Anconella, Florence, Italy

The Florence gasometer features a circular design with a cement base, steel upper section, and decorative pointed bulbs along vertical elements.

Built in 1846 and expanded in 1896, this gasometer stored and regulated city gas pressure produced through partial coal combustion for domestic use.

The structure stands as one of the few remaining examples of industrial archaeology in Florence, reflecting 19th-century technological advancement.

Located at coordinates 43° 46′ 17″ N, 11° 14′ 19″ E, the former industrial site is planned for conversion into a gaming hall and community center.

The gasometer combines industrial functionality with architectural details, incorporating specific ornamental elements unusual for utility structures of its era.
