\"La<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Hotel San Marco<\/strong> is the result of an architectural research of an image in relation to the urban context in which it finds itself together with the building\u2019s own history.<\/p>\n

It was born of an existing nineteenth century building which has seen various transformations over the years: from a tobacco drying warehouse (Lucca was and is a traditional centre for the production of hand rolled cigars<\/strong>), to a cotton weaving mill, later a church after the second world war to then become a cinema and successively a ballroom and even a garage for the repairing of motor vehicles.<\/p>\n

The architect responsible for the project, fascinated by the singular history of the building, chose, rather than demolishing it, to renovate, thus creating almost a \"piece\" of industrial archeology.<\/p>\n

The front of the hotel, which is new, re-evokes the building\u2019s past: the riveted architrave at the entrance is an evident reminder of the metal work of the nineteenth century, the use of red brick is a throwback to the houses of the early eighteen hundreds and also ties up with the nearby city walls, the principle entrance with its cornices and ample hall (which with its centrally placed white columns loosely points to its ecclesiastic past).<\/p>\n

References to the history of Lucca continue in the rooms of the Hotel dedicated as they are to some of the most illustrious characters of the city\u2019s past: Giacomo Puccini, Italy\u2019s most important composer of the post-Verdi era; Carlo Del Prete, gold medallist for aeronautical achievements; Elisa Bonaparte, Grand-duchess of Tuscany and Napoleon\u2019s sister; Lorenzo Nottolini, architect and designer of the large aqueduct in Roman style; Lucida Mansi, aristocrat; Pompeo Batoni, a famous eighteethh century painter; Eugenio Barsanti and Felice<\/p>\n

Matteucci, inventors of the internal combustion engine.The overall result is a hotel having a distinct image, characterised by a contemporary architecture linked to a historic past, born of the locus and reference point for the surrounding area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
