A little history of this small road (from Wikipedia)
The road is a small uproar, and owes its name to an arch that crosses it and to the Art of Dyers, which in this area had numerous workshops. Archaeological excavations have found traces of dye tanks, drains and ovens in this area. The road was sadly famous during the flood of Florence in 1966 when it was flooded by the flood, which at this point reached the most disastrous results: the narrowness of the road made the waters speed, which literally exploded against the nearby Corso Tintori, sweeping both whatever they encountered.
The Bargagli palace, a large nineteenth-century building, and a house of the hermitage of Camaldoli overlook the street, in a corner with the Corso dei Tintori. The latter, with a modest character although enlivened in its overall design by the development it shows on the vault, was in the eighteenth century among the properties that the sacred hermitage of Camaldoli had in this area, as indicated by the shield on the arch of the driveway land entrance, with the sign consisting of two peacocks drinking from the same glass, also significant for the quality of the relief. The two buildings are connected precisely by the vault. Under the vault is the aedicule of a now illegible tabernacle, washed away by the flood of 1966. It contained a Madonna and Child with Saint John on canvas attributed to Gian Domenico Ferretti, whose scarce remains are now preserved in the superintendency's deposits. The wrought iron lantern arm was completely lost. This image had enjoyed a report by Gabriele D'Annunzio in the Faville del Maglio: "the vault where the Madonna is in the tabernacle and the lantern".

The building on the left (with its back to the Arno) was the seat of the Chamber of Labor since 1914, and as such is remembered by Vasco Pratolini in Metello. From 1921 to 1937 it was the seat of the provincial federation of fascist unions and united municipal unions; it also contains the current access to the ex-Teatro dei Concordi. On the opposite side, the oldest part of Palazzo Bargagli shows a small stone with an inventory number.

At the corner of the Arno river there is a tabernacle with a recent Madonna, sculpted by the sculptor Paris Bernucci, within a small eighteenth-century niche. It is leaning on the house of Niccolò Tommaseo and replaces, after the war damage related to the destruction of the nearby Ponte alle Grazie. In ancient times it contained an immaculate seventeenth-century oil conception, which Guido Carocci defined as "mediocre" and which was lost when the nearby Ponte alle Grazie was blown up in 1944.

Under the house there is a paid garage where you can park your car (in Florence, parking is all paid). In Corso Tintori, just a stone's throw away, find the bus stop that takes you directly to the main railway station Firenze Santa Maria Novella. Also by turning the corner, in front of the Horne Museum, you will find another bus stop, and a third one about 150 meters on foot along the Lungarno.
