Palazzo Indipendenza stands as one of Florence’s most refined real estate opportunities, combining architectural heritage with modern sophistication. Spanning three levels, the residence is distinguished by its timeless charm, private garden, panoramic terraces with sweeping city views, private entrance from Piazza Indipendenza, and dedicated parking—features that underscore its exclusivity. The building, once known as Villino Trollope, has been carefully restored to highlight its historical essence, offering a rare chance to live where past and present harmoniously converge.
Located in one of Florence’s earliest 19th-century districts, Palazzo Indipendenza quickly became a cultural and political landmark. Between 1850 and 1863, the Trollope family acquired and modernized the building, adorning it with marble columns, ornate decorations, and fine furnishings. Known as a salon for intellectuals and patriots, the residence was closely tied to Florence’s Risorgimento ferment. A plaque still commemorates Theodosia Garrow Trollope, who died in 1865. Later, during Florence’s capital years (1865–1871), the palace hosted the embassies of the Netherlands and Portugal, and afterward became a prestigious pensione, welcoming figures such as writer Thomas Hardy and musician Ethelbert Nevin. The new restoration breathes life back into this cultural icon, reimagining it as an exclusive residential complex.
Guiding this transformation is Costruzioni Spagnoli S.p.A., a family business with nearly a century of experience.
