This vineyard is intended for camouflage, helping the terminal building blend into the surrounding Tuscan landscape. However, it will be a fully operational vineyard. According to Design Boom. Rafael Viñoly ArchitectsThe project’s design firm plans to work with local vintners to harvest grapes and produce wine that will be aged in cellars beneath the terminal.

Rafael Vignoli passed away last March, but the architect said this about his 2022 project: Global Construction Review:
“Florence is a place that is a timeless landmark because things have an internal logic and a fundamental sense of quality. The airport, the gateway to the city and its culture, is very close to the city center. Therefore, this has to be an urbanistic project, not an isolated design exercise cut off from everything but the technical demands of aviation and competition for the passenger.”
Vignoli is perhaps best known for designing the London skyscraper 20 Fenchurch Street. A Jaguar XJ was partially melted. The car’s owner, Martin Lindsay, was more in awe of the building’s reflective ability than he was in anger at how badly disfigured his car was.
