Overview of your Florence tour:

Have you ever restored a real Medieval tower? Well, I have! While on this mission, in the narrow alleyways and courtyards of Florence, I discovered the living art that has thrived here for centuries: made by ingenious Masters for the consumption, wear, touch, smell and use by opulent and very ambitious personalities. Many of the traditional objects are still created here today with the techniques that pass down through generations. While many of the older master pieces are now in museums, talented artisans are not only producing their unique artwork in Florence but also adjust it to modern life, expectations and tastes. Together, we visit up to to five functioning workshops, see Masters at work, learn about the raw materials, production stages, history behind each craft. Please let me know which crafts interest you!
