La farmacia, risale alla prima metà del XVIII secolo e deve il suo nome alla fontana con il cinghiale, detta del "porcellino", opera in bronzo dello scultore Pietro Tacca (1612) che, collocata in passato di fronte al suo ingresso, è oggi situata sul lato corto della Loggia del Mercato Nuovo. Ancora oggi la farmacia è collocata nella sua sede originaria, al piano terra di un edificio già di proprietà dell'Arte della Seta, poi del Cambio e infine dell'Ospedale degli Innocenti. L'antica origine della farmacia è testimoniata da un importante testo, edito a Firenze nel 1752, nel quale il medico fiorentino Niccolò Branchi della Torre elencava una serie di esperimenti chimici effettuati nel laboratorio di questa Spezieria. Questo fatto, oltre a testimoniare la funzione della farmacia come centro di ricerche d'avanguardia, è il segno della notorietà del Branchi il quale nel 1757 ottenne dal Granduca Francesco Stefano di Lorena l'incarico di aprire a Pisa la prima scuola di chimica. Nel secolo XIX la farmacia divenne anche centro di ritrovo di intellettuali illustri, come i letterati Aleardi, Prati, De Amicis e Fucini, quest'ultimo ricordato da una lapide collocata all'interno del locale. Nel 1970 fu rilevata dal dottor Paolo Urbinati che decise di ridare vita alle antiche conoscenze botaniche combinandole con i nuovi studi in ambito di ricerca cosmetica. In collaborazione con Cosmesi Italia sono nate “Le ricette dell'antica farmacia del Cinghiale”: una linea di cosmetici i cui principi attivi naturali estratti dalle piante si uniscono a metodologie avanzate per la creazione di “prodotti genuini”. (da Itinerari Scientifici in Toscana) Come sempre, grazie mille agli amici che lasceranno un segno del loro passaggio, un commento, un like o una critica, sempre bene accetta.

With your impeccable shots you bring us to know the realities that are completely unknown to most, like this ancient Florentine pharmacy. Thank you for this valuable information. Photography is a formidable dissemination tool and this image of you is the paradigm of it.
bye gios ;-)
