We met with Dr. Fanfani, Radiologist, partner and owner of the Fanfani Institute.
The institute has been and remains an institution.
A 60-year-old peer of mine told me that when he was little, his father told him, "Put on your good suit, we have to go to Fanfani." There was an idea of elegance, a concept of formal attention to the environment, starting with the reception with the young ladies in their tailored dresses.
How did your father, Dr. Manfredo Fanfani, start his business?
With the opening of a private medical practice in 1954 on Via della Pergola in Florence. Later, in 1964, he moved to the present location where he could have more space. In the 1950s and 1960s he was a real pioneer in creating this kind of human approach to the patient. A model of new health care that grew out of a personal life event of his own. He was hospitalized for a long time, and there he realized that that would be his profession. "I want an environment that is reminiscent of home, through and through," he often repeated. And so it was.
An environment, this one, where you can breathe art.
There are more than 1,500 paintings on display, by Rapisardi, Guttuso, to name a few. My father was a collector, and with the artists, over time, he formed relationships of deep friendship.
He was a man of vision.
In the 1970s, with the advent of the first computers, he understood that technological evolution would follow hand in hand.
