Piero Aranguren (Prato 1911-Florence 1988) was the architect who brought back the “Museo Firenze com’era (Museum of Florence as it was)”, after a long period of oblivion and directed it for twenty years, from 1955 to 1975. The Uffizi Library has received the donation of his archive, precious documents concerning the transformation of the city during the 19th and 20th centuries. The archive contains a wealth of curious facts and information about bridges, roads, piazzas, theatres, transport, lighting and buildings of different types.
