Novoli, Florence

Novoli is a city quarter in the northwestern part of Florence, Italy.

Novoli was known primarily as an industrial area until the 1970s, when it started to develop as a "chaotic" and "dreary" residential neighbourhood.

[1][2] Italian car manufacturer Fiat decided to close its factory in Novoli in the 1980s.

[3] The company agreed to donate land to the city of Florence, in return for permission to develop the rest of the area into a satellite town.
