Hundreds of residents of the old part of Florence demonstrated on Wednesday, June 17, to close down the monumental entrance to the Cavalli Club in Piazza del Carmine in Florence.
Matteo Renzi, who almost certainly will win the ballot on Sunday to become the new mayor of Florence, attended the demonstration and signed the petition launched by the parents of the Fioretta Mazzei kindergarten against the gigantic glass and steel structure which has taken away the area where the children used to play.
This monumental entrance to the Cavalli Club stands next to the Basilica of Santa Maria del Carmine, one of Florence's most important monuments
Matteo Renzi, candidate mayor, signs the petition and promises not to renew permission for the Roberto Cavalli monumental entrance should he be elected.
