Description
Abstract
Este trabajo se centra en el estudio del Gambrinus Halle de Florencia (Italia), que fue
inaugurado el 29 de noviembre de 1894. Los críticos de la época acogieron con grandes
elogios su apertura y destacaron la elegancia de su instalación y sus amplias dimensiones
conseguidas gracias al empleo de nuevos materiales y técnicas de construcción. De hecho,
fue uno de los cafés-cervecerías más grandes de Europa. Fue fundado por Spirito Giamello en
la recién creada piazza Vittorio Emanuele II (actual piazza della Repubblica), que se convirtió
en el «salón urbano» preferido para la sociedad burguesa florentina. Este establecimiento,
al igual que otros emplazados en este espacio, fue importante como lugar de encuentro y
reunión de relevantes personalidades, principalmente de la actualidad artística. Estuvo en
funcionamiento hasta comienzos de la década de los veinte de la pasada centuria, momento
en el que sus locales fueron destinados a sala cinematográfica y que ahora acogen un Hard
Rock café. Con este texto se pretende contribuir al conocimiento y valoración de este centro
que fue instituido para rendir culto al legendario Gambrinus.
This work focuses on the study of the Gambrinus Halle, which opened in Florence, Italy, on 29 November 1894. The critics of the time praised the opening and emphasised the elegance and spaciousness of the premises, resulting from the use of new building materials and techniques. In fact, the establishment was one of the biggest cafés-beer houses in Europe. The Gambrinus Halle was founded by Spirito Giamello in the newly built piazza Vittorio Emanuele II (nowadays piazza della Repubblica), which became the favourite “urban hall” of the middle-class society of Florence. As other establishments located in the area, it was a major meeting point for relevant figures, specially artists. It remained in business until the 1920s, when its halls were turned into a cinema, and it now houses a Hard Rock café. This work aims at making this establishment, founded to praise the legendary Gambrinus, better known and appreciated.
