Firenze Santa Maria Novella or Stazione di Santa Maria Novella - Firenze SMN is the main national and international train station in Florence, Italy.
The station was designed in 1932 by a group of architects known as the Gruppo Toscano (Tuscan Group) of which Giovanni Michelucci and Italo Gamberini were among the members; the building was constructed between 1932 and 1934. The plan of the building, as seen from above, was based on the Fascio Littorio, the symbol of Mussolini's Fascist movement. The building is one of the key works of Italian modernism, but has little to do with the Italian Rationalism movement, being more strongly influenced by the Viennese architecture of Loos and Hoffman, with perhaps a nod to Wright; but it is the building's complete originality that makes it outstanding. The station was designed to replace the aging Leopoldo Station and to serve as a gateway to the city centre.
