Craftsmanship in Florence between history and tradition
Walking tour to discover the historic shops of Oltrarno
To discover all the beauty that Florence has to offer, a lifetime would not be enough. Art and centuries-old traditions go hand in hand in every street of the city, even the most hidden ones. A walking tour in the company of a private guide to immerse yourself in Florentine craftsmanship and visit one of the most picturesque neighborhoods of the Tuscan capital: Santo Spirito, a creative and bohemian area, also recommended by the New York Times. Enter the workshops of local artisans, where you can admire artifacts and engravings, art prints, marbled paper, enamels and silver objects. Then reach Piazza Santo Spirito, with its typical family-run restaurants, shops and ateliers. Be enchanted by the evocative church of the same name designed by Brunelleschi, the last masterpiece of his great genius. Enter the cloister, the refectory, the chapter house and the sacristy, with the only existing wooden sculpture by Michelangelo: a crucifix carved when he was just 17 years old. To discover the secrets of a trendy neighborhood, off the beaten track.
