Angelo Renna Proposes Floating Island Carrying 39 Trees on Florence’s Arno

Renna Studio's proposed Firenze Little Island would turn a stretch of the Arno near the Pescaia weir into a seasonal public stage. Its timber deck sits on floating pontoons, with a ring of mature trees softening the riverfront. Designed to be dismantled before autumn floods, it pairs culture with river planning.

Angelo Renna's floating island florence design places 39 trees on a platform above the Arno River.
