Itinerario
Walk the streets of historic Florence with a local expert and meet the makers who keep its craft culture alive. Watch leather being cut and stitched, perfume blended, marbled paper pulled from pigments, and jewelry designed at the bench. Along the way, learn how Florence became a global reference for quality craftsmanship.
Step into working ateliers where Florence’s artisans still cut, stitch, engrave, and gild by hand. See marbled paper pulled from swirling pigments, gold hammered into fine jewelry, and leather shaped with tools unchanged for generations. Wander beyond the tourist routes into botteghe linked to the Esercizi Storici Fiorentini and uncover how Florence’s medieval workshops powered its wealth and reputation. Learn how this heritage later shaped modern Italian fashion, inspiring brands like Gucci and Ferragamo.
Follow the Medici’s vision for craftsmanship and see how their patronage built Florence’s reputation as a city of art and fine design. Hear stories of the Ponte Vecchio, once lined with goldsmiths whose workshops glittered along the river. Learn about commesso fiorentino, a jewel-like mosaic technique championed by the Medici in 1580 and still produced in hidden ateliers today.
Across the river in the Oltrarno, Florence reveals a quieter world of artisan workshops and independent ateliers. Here, leatherworkers, bookbinders, jewelers, tailors, and woodcarvers practice techniques passed down for generations. The pace is slower, the work is meticulous, and the neighborhood still feels lived-in — a place where craftspeople greet regulars, tools stay out on benches, and creativity is part of the daily rhythm.

About Firenze
Firenze, culla del Rinascimento, riunisce capolavori d'arte e architettura in una città compatta di strade di pietra lungo l'Arno.
Il Duomo, con la grande cupola di mattoni rossi del Brunelleschi, il campanile di Giotto e le porte dorate del Battistero, segna il centro della città. A poche strade, piazza della Signoria e Palazzo Vecchio si affacciano su una loggia piena di sculture, e la Galleria degli Uffizi custodisce Botticelli, Leonardo e Raffaello. Il David di Michelangelo si trova alla Galleria dell'Accademia.
Top-ranked sights in Firenze: Piazza della Signoria, Uffizi Galleries (Gallerie degli Uffizi), Florence Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore).
