Villa Favard, 19th-century villa in Florence, Italy
Villa Favard displays neoclassical architecture with frescoed rooms, positioned along the Arno River with views toward the Bellosguardo hill.
Commissioned by Baroness Fiorella Favard de L'Anglade in 1857, architect Giuseppe Poggi constructed this residence between 1858 and 1860 on Florence's riverbank.
The villa includes sixteen classrooms, two workshops, and an amphitheater, serving as the main campus for POLIMODA international fashion school since 2012.
The building houses student services including orientation, academic offices, career guidance, management departments, and a comprehensive library spanning the basement level.
The property features two iron and glass greenhouses designed to protect lemon trees and tropical plants within its English-style gardens.
