Abstract
Giuseppe Poggi was a Florentine architect who directed city planning in mid-nineteenth century Florence, after it became the Capital of the Kingdom of Italy in 1865. During this period, while executing flood prevention projects, constructing piazzas, residence areas and creating paesaggio, he sought to create a modern city of Florence that was appropriate to its role as capital. Since his projects were profoundly influenced by the Italian political situation, the projects represent not only the ideal figure of Florence but also the ideal figure of Italy during that period. In this research, Poggi's role and the limitations imposed on the jurisdiction of his decision-making will be clarified in order to analyze his projects precisely and to understand urban modernization in Florence.
