In the heart of Pontremoli between history and architecture
Guided walking tour and educational craft workshop in the village of Lunigiana
Let yourself be enchanted by the ancient and uplifting fragrances of the homeland of perfume, Florence. Right here, in the Renaissance, the distillation of flowers and the use of essences became increasingly important among nobles and rich merchants, so much so that the personal perfume created for Catherine de Medici spread throughout France and the world. Visit the Antica Spezieria ed Erboristeria San Simone to go back in time and experience the atmosphere of the ancient alchemists and apothecaries. Become an apprentice for a day, choose aromas and raw materials and create your own unique and tailor-made home fragrance in the laboratory. A multisensory journey for an olfactory memory that will last indelible over time.
