I'm trying to help a friend find the street on which her rental apartment is located, but I can't find it on any of my maps, and neither can she. She's leaving next week, and I'm hoping someone can help. Roughly, it's via ... Ruschiella, and she was told that it's located between the Duomo and the Ponte Vecchio. Anyone see it?

Via Brunelleschi?

Via Pescioni? Via de' Rondinelli?

What about via Ruccellai? The Ruccellai were a Florentine family that plastered their name on a few things during the Renaissance...why not a street too? Good luck!

Yes, Dawn, in fact there's a V. Bernardo Ruccelai ... but it lays west of the train station. There's also a Piazza Ruccelai (in front of Palazzo Ruccelai, south of Piazza Sta. Maria Novella). Both of them quite off the area mentioned. Ruschiella doesn't sound any bell at all ... it doesn't mean anything in Italian and it doens't appear to be a family name.
