Our first stop will be the visit to an off the beaten path goldsmith workshop. Here you observe the process of how a jewel is created, from the initial sketch to the different design phases including embossing, engraving and reinterpreting Florentine renaissance pieces into re-worked creations.
30 minutes

Palazzo Pitti
Next we will visit one of the few workshops that can still make florentine mosaic.
Every creation is a truly irreplicable, unique piece of art with a historic significance that can be found nowhere else but in Florence.

Piazza Santo Spirito
The Santo Spirito district is where most of the local hand crafts are made and where the artisan workshops concentrate. We will explore a few artisans.
We will head to a workshop specializing in hand decorated paper. Here you can find a variety of decorative paper-covered items, and stationery that are all made inside the shop.
In the same area we can then learn about the artistry of etching.
We also have the possibility to see how entirely hand made shoes are made.
