Le Murate, Florence cultural meeting point

PHOTOS & SPANISH VERSION BELOW

The first and only time I was in Le Murate was in March 2015. It was a blind date and I fell in love with him. The relationship prospered, although soon after it became complicated and exploded. A thousand pieces of my heart flew through his room. I picked up a few and I took them with me, in case they were needed for the future … Today I return to Le Murate to reconcile with my past in this city. Because one really starts to belong to a city when the memories of a certain ‘past’ happened on that particular place …

Le Murate also has its own past. This Florence former prison has been converted into a local cultural meeting point. In addition to modern apartments, Le Murate now hosts a bookstore, an art gallery, a wine bar, and a café: Le Murate Caffè Letterario. Literati, intellectuals, and local cultural scene players meet in this bar-restaurant-café. In addition, they organize lectures, debates, art exhibitions or live music. In summer, the open-air patio leads the night, and even films are screened here.


Le Murate, punto de encuentro cultural de Florencia

La primera (y única) vez que estuve en Le Murate fue en marzo de 2015. Se trataba de una primera cita. Me enamoré (de él). La relación prosperó, aunque poco después se complicó y estalló. Mil pedazos de mi corazón volaron por su habitación. Recogí unos cuantos y me los llevé, por si hacían falta para otra vez… Hoy vuelvo a Le Murate para reconciliarme con mi pasado en esta ciudad. Uno empieza a pertenecer a un lugar cuando comienza a fraguar en él un determinado «pasado»…

Le Murate también tiene su propio pasado. Esta antigua cárcel de Florencia es en la actualidad un punto de encuentro cultural local. Además de modernas viviendas, Le Murate alberga ahora una librería, una galería de arte, una vinoteca y un café: Le Murate Caffè Letterario. En este bar-restaurante-cafetería se reúnen los literatos y coolturetas florentinos. Además, en este espacio se organizan lecturas, debates, música en vivo o exposiciones de arte. En verano el patio se convierte en protagonista de la noche y en él hasta se proyectan películas.
